You might want to stay away from schools and from those attending k-12 schools.
While both schools and cruise ships can experience norovirus outbreaks, outbreaks on cruise ships are often more visible due to the close quarters and high-profile nature of travel, but outbreaks in schools and childcare centers are more common.
My wife and I did not get sick for many years, then our kids went to school, brought home all sorts of disease. Our kids got over being sick in a day or two. I felt like warmed over death for a week. Yuk.
I have no desire to take a cruise on one of those big petri dishes.
And I don’t visit schools.
You wash your paws, not a problem.
But noro can also be foodborne.
How do you wash your prepared meals...?
That’s why we don’t go on cruises.
