From the Hickory Daily Record, Feb. 24, 1920
Situation Better in
Hickory Today
The influenza situation continues good in Hickory, according
to the reports of physicians. There are several families in which nearly all
members have the disease, but it is believed that it is no longer serious in
the city.
Reports from Burke county to Dr. H.C. Menzies, city health
officer, are more serious, and many families are ill. The proportion of cases
in the country, Dr. Menzies said, is much larger than in Hickory and he could
account for this condition only by the supposition that the disease skipped
certain communities in 1918-19 and made up for lost ground this time. Some
pneumonia is also reported in the country.
Two cases of scarlet fever were reported this week, and
chickenpox has been rather worrisome in a few families.
