Isn't a a "Norwalk Type" illness, not the Norwalk itself?

Maine is having an unusually high incidence of the Norwalk virus. There are a lot of people showing up in emergency rooms (I guess it is pretty miserable to have). This just happened over the course of MAYBE two weeks. In that time, I have known about a dozen people that have caught it--thankfully I haven't gotten it yet. It may just be a coincidence......but you never know!

I'm not a doctor, so I can't answer you "correctly," but most everything I go to says Norwalk virus.....type that into google, and you'll see what I mean. Even on the page that describes its symptoms, etc., calls it that on a website by the USFDA. Here's a link I was earlier referring to about means of transmission, along with lots of other info. about it. The website also calls it "Norwalk Virus":
