A mutated flu virus in Norway


At least 68 flu-related deaths have been recorded by Italian Health Ministry, a high number in this time of year. Campania's health authority has reported 25 fatal cases, and it's the hardest hit region. The hospitalized cases have climbed to 489, while 241 people needed intensive care. Italian newspapers report today about a mutated version of the influenza virus, found in three patients in Norway, and this seems the most interesting thing of today. The Italian Deputy Health Minister, Professor  Ferruccio Fazio, is still inviting all the people at risk to get the vaccine shot. Today the newspapers cover also a story about a diet agains the flu. Black grapes, bananas, oranges and cauliflower can protect you, claims Fabio Firenzuoli, President of National Association of Phytotherapist Doctors. Also peppers work, if they are in different colours.
