Nearly five million flu cases have been reported nationwide, the CDC estimates, and at least 1,900 people have died from the virus. "CBS Saturday Morning" has more on why this year's strain is breaking records.

Would really appreciate something in the post titles to indicate when it’s a video rather than a text article. Something like [video] appended.

Agree and just please don't post video unless there's a good reason for the format. This would be much better as a text. If you are posting about Florida man wrestling an escaped mutated lizard while naked, yeah, post the damn footage, otherwise text is faster, more succinct, and lower bandwidth.
