The image of this map should be very concerning with just a quick glimpse. The CDC tweeted an updated report, #FluView on January 20, 2018. It mentions that 39 states in the United States are "experiencing high flu-like activity." I found it somewhat disconcerting when I stumbled over the same image by another hashtag from the CDC, #FluFactFriday from which they tweeted that this was the "1st time all states in the entire continental U.S. have reported widespread flu activity during the same week." The image is daunting, especially with their "Flu Fact Friday" hashtag. The flu this year is no joke and should be taken very seriously. I appreciate government agencies using media outlets like Twitter, to help inform the public of deadly outbreaks like the flu and other significant viruses or diseases.
