Pandemic Flu on a local level

Marlinton, WV – Sixteen people in Pocahontas County would die in a pandemic flu outbreak, according to the regional epidemiologist representing West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle.

Kim Kline broke down the pandemic flu problem for a room full of health and safety planners in our community Tuesday evening.

“We’re in the hotbed of the number one agricultural industry in the state, which is poultry,” Kline said, “So it’s a big deal in our area.”
