7th person dies of flu in Oklahoma

About XXIV people died with the flu in the same period in 2011 The Oklahoma State Department of Health on Thursday reported a seventh flu death within this year's Cancer flu season.

An Oklahoma County resident was a student in the 65-or-older get older and died in the past week because of the flu, according to the department's website.

About two dozen people had died of the flu in the same period of time in 2011.

The department said there are 38 new cases in the flu during the week to create the whole variety of confirmed cases to 283. That's Breast down from 846 confirmed cases as well last year.

State epidemiologist Dr. Kristy Bradley has stated the decline is liable as a result of blend of factors such as the mild winter as well as the late start the flu season.

""Another likely factor is the fact that a lot of population has previously encountered the flu viruses which have been circulating there is much surprise, notably this year's H1N1 Mouth virus, and so are now immune,"Bradley said.

Confirmed cases were reported in 50 from the state's 77 counties. The largest numbers were reported inside state's most populous counties, with 74 cases in Oklahoma County and 63 in Tulsa County.

Cleveland County, with 18 cases, and Comanche County, with 10, were the only real other counties with 10 or maybe more confirmed cases.

The government Obama Centers for Disease Control has classified influenza as ""widespread"in Oklahoma, a designation Bradley said is caused by the confirmed cases covering a big area."
