Metro Detroit area hit by norovirus outbreaks

Everything about Detroit is inept beyond imagination.

Oh come on now . . . . it ain't all THAT bad in Detroit! Living near Detroit, one takes life's little pleasures where one can get them.

For instance, watching the Detroit City Council meetings on cable TV has got to be one of the funniest programs on television anywhere in the country today. The Detroit City Council meetings bring together a dais of folks who are complete idiots but do not know they are complete idiots and so actually take themselves seriously.

Besides, where else but Detroit will you find Police cars driving the city streets sporting a bumper sicker campaigning to fire the Police Chief?

Maybe they could put it into syndication. Not much decent comedy on the tube.

HAVE FELT, believed terrorists were behind this from the beginning. Could well be wrong.

But the flavor of it just has Ji-had written all over it. Especially with the 'evil-party-ing' cruise ships.

And now trains and so forth . . . Clearly more than chance events, to me.

Ok, Flame away.

FWIW, this happens all the time. It's just never been on so many people's radar screens. If people would wash their darn hands and stay home when they're sick, if possible, we'd have a lot less of it.

OK,

I can believe that.

But I have to live up to my image of a tinfoil hat; air-headed; paranoid; looney toons. . . traditon and all that.

Thanks for your kind response.

I'll say its suspicious. I have had abdominal cramps that took me to the doc that has lasted over a week now. I have at least 10 other friends here (Portland, OR) with the exact symptoms. Very nasty, and very strange as I have never had anything like this is in my 32 years. It is completely debilitating.
