EDMONTON, Alberta, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Influenza killed 10, hospitalized 300 -- 40 in intensive care -- and created long lines for many seeking a flu shot in Alberta, Canada, officials say.
Dr. James Talbot, the chief medical officer of health for Alberta Health, said the outbreak is not a pandemic, but H1N1 is the recurring strain people are getting this year and it is beginning to strain the healthcare system, CBC reported.
