Health officials said Friday that 27
people younger than 65 have died of the flu in California since October,
compared with three at the same time last year. Nationwide and in
California, flu activity spiked sharply in late December and continues
to grow.
The emergency room at UCLA Medical
Center in Santa Monica typically treats about 140 patients a day, but at
least one day this week had more than 200 patients — mostly because of
the flu, said the ER’s medical director, Dr. Wally Ghurabi.
