The 2017-2018 flu season is being seen as one of the most dangerous yet. With everyone on their guard, those that are even suspected of having the flu are cautioned to stay away from public activities, so that others don’t become infected. Governor Andrew Cuomo’s statement from January 23, 2018, instructed those who had still not received their flu shot to do so quickly, “With flu cases on the rise, New Yorkers should take steps to get vaccinated and protect themselves and their loved ones,” Governor Cuomo said. “I am directing the Department of Health to work with local providers to help protect our communities from this flu outbreak, and I urge all New Yorkers to visit local health centers and get vaccinated as soon as possible.”

To Drive or Not to Drive
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – While people all through Florida state have been forced to evacuate their homes and find shelter anywhere else, for Marist senior Luke Langston he was thinking about going right into the eye of the storm. Already far away from the danger but fearing for the safety of his home, the temptation to make the drive all the way from Poughkeepsie, New York back down to Miami, Florida lingered in his mind. With their house on a marina, there was increased fear that the water would rise and damage their home, so they needed to act fast. With no relatives near their Miami home, Langston’s brother at school and parents out of the country, he looked to his family to see if he should make the drive. After a conversation with his mother, the decision to drive down was nixed and they decided to call a team to secure the interior of their home, as well as the boat on their dock of the marina.
