People with asthma account for about one-third of all people hospitalized with H1N1. We know that only half of people with asthma, when they get sick with flu, sought care from a medical provider. If you have asthma or other underlying conditions, seek care promptly." As always for everyone, the message of the season is wash your hands frequently, cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing, and stay home if you are sick. Full Article at KLTV
