Victorian woman Julie Theobald was admitted to an intensive care unit in Melbourne on June 10 after her bout of flu worsened and turned into pneumonia. She passed away after two weeks in the ICU. 'Mum leaves behind 13 amazing children, ageing from seven to 31-years-old and her devoted husband/our Dad, Billy.'
Professor Catherine Bennett, the chair of epidemiology at Deakin University, told Daily Mail Australia that flu patients could be hospitalised even if they were young, fit or healthy. 'If you're with other people that you don't usually hang out with, it's about making sure you try and keep the distance. Be conscious of ventilation, wear a mask if you're in crowded areas, all of those things help protect against these conditions.' The epidemiologist urged Australians to get an updated flu vaccine.
