The latest report shows flu-related hospitalizations are down in Minnesota for the second week in a row, with some hoping a season that started early will end early.
There were 264 people hospitalized with flu in the week ending December 17th, down from 400 the week before, and almost 600 the week before that.
There have been over 26-hundred flu hospitalizations in Minnesota so far this season — nearly triple the total of the last two seasons combined.
