( ~2,500 norovirus outbreaks reported annually / 346,364,845 population of US ) / x 100 = 0.0007 % risk of contracting this "media sensation."

I think I’ve got it.

Norovirus is in the category of most contagious virus you can get. It only takes ONE particle to make someone sick. A few years ago the virus ran through my daughter’s household... 10 days later, after they recovered mind you, we ate Christmas dinner over there and yes ended up sick. It can live on surfaces and in someone’s breath (if I remember rightly) for up to two weeks after they recover. For a while there I was getting it every single year and most of that time I would end up in the emergency room to receive Zofran because I just couldn’t stop puking. I avoid this bug the very best I can including from November through March will not eat anything from a restaurant that human hands would handle. It’s a crappy way to live but I hate these viruses with a passion.

An outbreak isn’t a single case, friend.

The left has taken to hyperventilating over every little viral illness as if it’s the end of the world and nobody should ever get sick.

And yet, somehow the human race has survived.
