Flu at near ‘epidemic’ levels

More than half the states in the country, including Ohio, are experiencing high levels of flu activity weeks ahead of the pace of a typical flu season, according to the latest flu report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And a disproportionate number of those cases are resulting in hospitalization.

“We actually are in the throes of an epidemic,” said Catherine Bacheller, director of infectious disease prevention at Kettering Medical Center. “In our hospital, we’ve doubled the number of cases each week for the past couple of weeks.”

Infections are part of the pestilences that the Bible warned about for the end times. Jesus taught:

7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-8)

We seem to be in the time Jesus called “the beginning of sorrows”. There have been “earthquakes in various places” this year. There are some famines and they may increase soon. Candida, other fungi, bacteria, and viruses are not the only pestilences starting to rise up either.

As Jesus said:

37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch! (Mark 13:36-37)
