With flu cases rising at a rapid rate, some experts said the state — and country — could be in for a wild season. “We are seeing a continued increase in activity,” said Alan Siniscalchi, flu surveillance coordinator for the Connecticut Department of Public Health. And while he added it’s not unusual to see a lot of flu cases and hospitalizations in December, the numbers are higher than normal. “We could be looking at a peak as early as late January, instead of February or March,” Siniscalchi said. Season picking up Flu is a contagious respiratory illness that includes such symptoms as fever, body aches, cough, sore throat and runny or stuffy nose. It can range from mild to severe and can lead to death.
