I think Justpiper has been keeping an eye on these gastro bugs.
JP, can you give us any stats about the frequency of these gastro outbreaks?
I don't recall this many outbreaks of such severity in the past.
The frequency on cruisers has been steadily climbing for two years. The gastro bug in the guise of all stomach ailments growing at an alarming rate.
Things like this already posted:
A bacterium that is connected to Legionnaires' disease has been confirmed
in Oklahoma, and state health officials said Mon, 22 Mar 2004 that a
Oklahoma hotel was the likely source.
Eyewitness News 5 learned that the Comfort Suites at Interstate 44 and
Meridian was the location where people who were in Oklahoma City for a
basketball tournament were staying when they became ill.
