Our precious French-Canadian treasure, Céline Dion, is sick with the flu and things are so bad, she's been forced to cancel three of her sold-out Vegas shows!

Her doctor has ordered the My Heart Will Go On singer to stay on bed rest after she developed complications from a recent bout with the nasty illness.

This is AH-MAYZING!

It may be flu season, but according to reports, the illness has decreased throughout the nation!!

On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed:

"Influenza activity remained elevated in the United States, but decreased in most areas."

Currently, 38 states shared that influenza was lingering around, but this is really good news because only a week ago, 42 states reported the illness.

However, with the flu decreasing in numbers, "pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was above the epidemic threshold."

With that said, anyone who is suffering from the flu virus should make their way over to the doctor because even though the numbers are down, it's best to catch the bug upfront before it turns into a monster! LOLz

The CDC announced that there is a new strain of norovirus running rampant across the globe… and it's made its way to the good ol' U.S. of A!

The new "GII 4 Sydney" strain of the virus has caused over 140 outbreaks in the U.S. since September!

At no point did anyone take Hugh Jackman seriously last night at the Golden Globes when he joked about the lack of importance of getting a flu shot.

Because, you see, it was a joke — he had the flu. He didn't like the flu, and he wasn't promoting how easy it was to have the flu. He was joking because he SHOULD HAVE gotten a flu shot.

Yet, here's the CDC losing their damn minds over it!

The CDC has said that this year's flu epidemic may have reached it's peak.

But that doesn't mean it's still not SUPER deadly!

Those most at risk are young children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

Sadly, children have been hit really hard. There have been 20 deaths of people under 18 since the outbreak.

It's that time of the year again… flu season!

We hope everyone got their flu shots!

Google has been tracking how bad the flu is based on aggregated google search data.

Basically that means they're probably looking at the frequency of searches like "how long does flu last?" or "flu remedies" or "I have the flu."

According to google, everywhere has "intense" flu activity, except
