The Influenza
Situation
An abatement of influenza in North Carolina, with the
situation in Asheville and Catawba county storm centers, under control, was
indicted in reports to the State Board of Health from various counties of the
State.
Decided improvement was reported to the State Board of
Health for conditions in Asheville and two mill communities in Catawba county,
but press reports from Asheville were to the effect that this declined was accompanied
with an increase in pneumonia cases.
Because of the early closing ours of the County Health
Department, reports were not available for Raleigh and Wake county. Meredith
College, Peace Institute and St. Mary’s without a case of influenza in any of
them, established quarantines. This, it was pointed out, is purely a
precautionary measure.
At the Methodist Orphanage the crest of the epidemic, it is
thought, has been reached, and while no new cases were reported, some of the
200 or more children are quite sick. Three or four pneumonia cases have
developed.
