After 13 years of monitoring, on the 12th of January Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have announced
a first-ever “widespread” of flu throughout the entire continental U.S.
This season, 37 children have already died from the virus and it’s
important that parents take their kids to the doctor if they suspect
them of having the disease. However, it’s hard to plan a visit to the
hospital if the child’s symptoms are nothing you’d expect. To raise
awareness about how deceiving the flu is, Brodi Willard shared her
family’s unusual story.

Her post quickly went viral, generating over 215K shares and 27K reactions on Facebook
It inspired others to share their unusual stories as well
