Flu activity is still high, but it's decreasing in parts of the country. That's according to a report from the CDC based on numbers coming in so far.  Now, instead of 48, a total of 47 states are reporting "widespread" flu. Texas is still one of them. If you break down the South Plains, most of the flu activity is reported in Lubbock, Hale, and Crosby counties.
