Flu Outbreak Could Get Worse: Bloomberg claims the current flu outbreak could get worse. Dan Jernigan, from the National Center For Immunization and Respiratory Disease, is quoted by the site as saying; “Flu is everywhere in the U.S. right now. In general, we see things peaking right about now, but that means there is still a whole lot more flu to go,” Jernigan said. “In addition, there are other strains of influenza still to show up that could be a major cause of disease.”
