All the preparations are aimed at avoiding — or at least minimizing — the expected onslaught of colds and the flu, B.ut the true influenza virus isn't discouraged that easily. And unlike the common cold, true influenza can do more than make a person sick — it can kill, according to a press release from the Huron County Health Unit. "Influenza is far more serious (than the common cold)," said Diane Petrie, director of nursing for the HCHU. "It can cause very severe illness, or it can be life-threatening, especially to those with heart and lung disease — it can really zap them." Fridays are bingo days for the month. A new feature has been added to regular bingo. The last game each week is a jackpot bingo. The big winners the last two weeks were WalterSomerville and Elsie Shaddick.

However, many viruses can cause these symptoms. The danger of true influenza — one of the most contagious viruses in existence — is the complications that can arise when the body's resistance is weakened. Bacterial pneumonia is the most common com- plication and is especially dangerous in the elderly. Viral pneumonia, kidney failure and nervous system disorders can prove fatal as well. Statistics indicate that between 1,000-2,000 Canadians die each year of in- fluenza complications. More than five million Canadians are in "high-risk” categories.

Anyone who is over the age of 65 and also has one of the above conditions is especially at risk.
