Local Baton Rouge, LA news station WAFB interviewed Lance Fudickar about the increasing volume of flu cases being seen in urgent care clinics. Fudickar says flu is on the rise and will only get worse as the holiday season continues. “Generally,” he said, “what happens as our children get out of school and go home for the holidays, travel with Thanksgiving, we’ll see another bump with the travel season coming up again, people shopping in the malls, you know, masses of people being together,” Fudickar said.
