New numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that the flu epidemic is winding down, but the illness is still widespread in some northeastern states. The CDC reports that Tennessee is only seeing "local" level outbreaks. Infection Control Director Darci Hodge from East Tennessee Children's Hospital said they are seeing a few cases of the flu a week, but it's nothing they would consider a "resurgence." At the University of Tennessee Medical Center, however, it is a different story. New data released Monday shows the flu has declined in recent weeks, but the number of cases compared to last season has increased.
