NEW YORK — This winter's nasty flu season has peaked and is clearly retreating, a new government report shows. "There's a lot of flu season left, but it's clear we're decreasing and that flu season has peaked," said Dr. Michael Jhung of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Flu illnesses were at their highest levels around New Year's Day, Jhung said.
