Ever wonder why flu season hits in winter?

I thought this was interesting.

That is all.

I always figured it was because all the little flu vectors went back to school in the winter.

We are allowed to post *some *of the article:

US scientists have discovered a possible reason why the flu virus is seasonal and tends to infect people mostly in the winter. It has a jacket that melts in the summer causing the virus to die off, and stays hard in the winter, until it enters a host where it melts and gets to work. The discovery could lead to new ways to prevent and treat the flu.

So there is a positive aspect to global warming, you say?

Me, too .

That is so fascinating, thanks for sharing Tenar!
