You haven't heard of it out there? It's been particularly bad. There are public facilities - hotels, hospitals, schools, jails that are closed or on lockdown because of how bad it is.
Even though Jr. is some better, we had to send him to the doctor because the schools/county want to track the cases.
Once it's diagnosed they are asking parents to keep kids home ~at least~ three days.
This has been lingering on with Jr. for about a week now. Tuesday night was the worst. I'll spare you most of the details but wife and I were up in the middle of the night unclogging toilets and disinfecting bathrooms.
Yuck... no, I haven't heard it by name, out here, or I haven't paid enough attention.
Sounds just lovely. :~\
Isn't the 'norovirus' the same as the Norwalk Virus that had been haunting cruise ships last year?
*ducking*
