Cargo ships waiting to unload at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Calif., could keep some of America’s store shelves bare for a while.

The flu is back.
Following record lows of influenza last year thanks to COVID-19 precautions, the flu is again circulating in Oklahoma and the U.S. Only time will tell how severe the season will be.
Still, experts at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation advise starting your defense with a good offense.
“The flu is returning, and it’s up to us to deal with it,” said OMRF immunologist Linda Thompson, Ph.D., who studies influenza.
“Just like COVID, if we get vaccinated, wear masks and stay home when we’re ill, there will be fewer cases.”
