This year’s flu season is starting early and it’s already spreading quickly .Officials said that the flu has now spread to 50states.That’s why the flu shot isn’t easy to find.
Help will soon be on its way .A manufacturer of the will ship 100,000 doses for adults, and 150,000for children soon. Although this could be one of the worst flu outbreaks in years, experts say that the flu is not a very serious disease for most people.
“We don’t need to fear or worry that something very bad will happen,” said the director of Centers for Disease control and Prevention.” Most of us will get through this fine.”

Gerberling also reminds people to use common sense during flu season. People should cover their mouths and noses when they cough ,and wash their hands often .children who have symptoms of the flu should stay home from school, and adults who develop the symptoms shouldn’t go to work .This simple prevention could prevent the illness from spreading .
Of course, there is always chicken soup to make you feel better. Scientific studies show that chicken soup actually does help people breathe better when they are sick. Scientists say that any hot liquid will help, but for some reason, soup does it best .they say that the soup’s smell may be important, but they are not completely sure why. And if you don’t like chicken, keep in mind that the healing effect comes from the soup ,not the chicken.

English families face being limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year. Households throwing away more waste will have to take it to the tip (垃圾站) or buy a limited number of extra bags.
Doretta Cocks, protester of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections, said, “They must think we are fools. How can they claim to be concerned for the environment when they tell people to drive to the local tip? And what do you do if you don’t have a car? Walk?”
The plan ignores the voice from ministers to end such heavy – handedness (笨拙).
It is to be carried out by the Tory – led council (市政厅) in Wokingham, Berkshire, and is already in operation in Brozbourne in Hertfordshire.
Many of the 180 councils that still offer unlimited weekly rubbish collections are watching the trial.
Wokingham officials have told residents that 75 – litre bags will be given to each household and anything not left in them will not be collected.
“Every household will receive 80 bags every year,” it said. “You can buy extra bags in rolls of ten but this will not be encouraged.”
Families of five will get 100 rubbish bags a year and households of six or more will get 120.
Residents will have a weekly recycling collection limited to cans, paper and cards, plastic bottles and so on.
Plastic packaging and glass including bottles must either go with the general waste or be taken to recycling points. Green waste pick – ups cost an extra £60 a year.
The council has told residents it will save £922,000 a year under the new system. There will be no local consultation (商讨) before it is introduced next April.
