Wisconsin Department of Health Warns Of Longer Than Normal Flu SeasonThe Wisconsin Department of Health Services expects this to be one of the longest flu seasons in recent memory with the powerful influenza A/H3 virus currently affecting young and old alike. The average peak for flu activity is the first week of February, but health officials expect this season to extend at least through the end of March, if not beyond. The H3 type of the virus is more powerful than the A/H1 virus that circulated earlier in the flu season. While the first wave was hard on younger people, officials say the H3 virus is hitting people 65 years old and older especially hard.
