Throughout California, since Oct. 1 there have been 14 deaths from flu and RSV, with 5 of those just reported the week ending Nov. 11, the most recent week for which data is available.
Winter virus season is just getting underway as millions of travelers prepare to pack into jetliners and squeeze into SUVs for that Thanksgiving trip to Grandma's, and Bay Area health officials are urging people to take precautions as they see RSV, influenza and COVID-19 cases rise.
