Norovirus is highly contagious and commonly spread through contaminated food or water or contaminated surfaces, according to the Mayo Clinic.
It also can be spread through close contact with an infected person.
Symptoms usually begin 12 to 48 hours after exposure and last one to three days.
There's no specific treatment for norovirus infection, the clinic says on its website.
Things are pretty bad now. Some of policemen and cooks working there are infected, too. The virus is now spreading to surrounding towns and villages. I hear that it is a nasty virus. Not really fatal but causing non-stop diarrhea and vomiting. If athletes get it, his/her chance of winning will become nil. If anybody knows athletes competing there, make sure they survive the outbreak. Bring in their food from outside.
Couldn't figure out why NK would be interested in the Olympics...Think I got it figured out.
I have a friend over there right now who is a cameraman with the Olympic Broadcasting Service. I’ve messaged him to ask if the OBS is concerned.
This guy’s been to every Olympics since Vancouver in 2010. Working for the OBS is by invitation only, and they don’t invite you (or invite you BACK) unless you’re good.
If he says anything, I’ll let you know.
