Flu symptoms visits decrease for 6th straight week

Doctor visits for influenza-like illness decreased for the sixth straight week, as problems associated with the flu continue to fall.

According to the CDC's (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) weekly Fluview update, only one state in their survey showed an increase in flu symptoms (Idaho).

From the weekly report: "# Visits to doctors for influenza-like illness (ILI) nationally decreased again for the sixth consecutive week, falling below the national baseline for the first time since the week ending December 25, 2010. However two of 10 U.S regions—Regions 2 and 10—continue to report ILI activity at or above baseline levels. One state (Idaho) had high ILI activity."
