In case you hadn’t heard…the flu has arrived, just ahead of Jolly Ole St. Nick. If you have come down with the flu Marshall County Public health Nurse Pat Thompson says you just need to stay home…and resist the urge to out and be around folks, no matter what kind of party or how cheap the bargains may be.

Thompson also suggests if you have not taken your medicine and received a flu shot, it’s still not too late to get one.
