Flu is making visible inroads into the South and Northeast in particular, and is spreading markedly faster than it was at this time last year. Now, seven states (Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Virginia) are reporting &quot;widespread&quot; flu cases in the CDC's account of the geographic spread of the virus. At this time last year, there were zero.

What's more, for the week ending Dec. 2, three states — Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina — are glowing red on a national map with a high activity level of influenza-like illness, and three are reporting a moderate level of activity. Last year?

But the possibly bigger cause for alarm has to do with the predominant flu type spreading at a rapid clip into the hardest-hit states, and, increasingly, into the states bordering them: the pernicious influenza A, and specifically the H3N2 virus, which CDC investigators have been concerned about since it hit Australia hard last summer. Compared with other strains, H3N2 tends to make older people sicker, and flu shots are less effective at fighting it.
