• Age - Seasonal influenza tends to have worse outcomes in children under age 2, and adults older than age 65.
• Living or working conditions - People who live or work in facilities with many other residents, such as nursing homes or military barracks are more likely to develop the flu. People who are staying in the hospital are also at a higher risk.
• Weakened immune system - This can make it easier to catch the flu and may increase the risk of developing complications.
• Chronic illnesses -  Chronic conditions may increase the risk of influenza complications. Examples include asthma and other lung diseases, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, nervous system diseases, metabolic disorders, problems with an airway, and kidney, liver or blood disease.
• Race -  American Indians or Alaska Natives people may have an increased risk of influenza complications.

• Pregnancy - Pregnant women are more likely to develop influenza complications, particularly in the second and third trimesters. This risk continues up to two weeks after the baby is born.
• Obesity - People with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher have an increased risk of flu complications.

Influenza viruses travel through the air in droplets when someone with the infection coughs, sneezes or talks. You can inhale the droplets directly or you can pick up the germs from an object — such as a telephone or computer keyboard — and then transfer them to your eyes, nose or mouth.

People with the virus are likely contagious from about a day before symptoms appear until about four days after they start. Children and people with weakened immune systems may be contagious for a slightly longer time.

ESSENTIAL:

Refer to advanced training "Making a remedy for a Pathogen" for specific details.

Run Sinus and Lung scans. Using the Search Criteria check all the influenza strains one at a time and if they are green add to the hold tank. While in the Search Criteria add energies for symptoms and add the above listed homeopathics.  Imprint the hold tank into a correlating homeopathic and also imprint the laser.  Laser the affected areas 2-4 times daily with a minimum of 2 minutes for each laser session.
