Extension expert: bad flu season a definite possibility

"Fasten your seatbelts—it's going to be a bumpy night." Bette Davis’s memorable quote from the cult film classic “All about Eve,” may apply to this year’s flu season. As Robert Norton likes to say, he would be a wealthy man if he could predict when, where and how widely the next serious flu pandemic will occur. Even so, Norton, a veterinary bacteriologist and Auburn University professor of poultry science, said Americans are probably in for a bad flu season. "It's not going to be a catastrophic flu season, but it’s probably going to be a substantial one," said Norton. He cites several studies that are as interesting as they are disturbing.
