Covid cases are down. Unfortunately, stomach flu outbreaks are up.

Don't I know it. I am just now getting over a nasty little stomach bug I picked up last week. Very miserable.

I got stomach flu last month and it was horrible. Passed out on the bathroom floor multiple times throughout the night.

Sick for 24 full hours before starting to feel better. You do not want to get this.

I think it is a Chinese bio weapon.

Doubtful. You were sick, that’s all.

I’m pretty sure that in addition to washing one’s hands, a Social Distancing of >264ft, always outside, would work pretty well against the Fauxcy/China Virus.

I was getting the dreaded thing every year for awhile until I stopped eating any handled food at restaurants from November to March and started taking high potency vitamin D.

Are people supposed to report to the CDC
every time they get a case of the runs?

Yes, and i’m pretty sure it was a stomach virus. I’ve had Covid several times, and this did not have the usual symptoms I saw with Covid.

It would have been the single best preventative outweighing all other measures taken.

But not with harsh hand cleaners that strip off all the skin’s natural oils and cause cracked skin which becomes more susceptible to infection.

Masks just cause people to touch their faces more than normally by a large factor.

Something Fraudci said before he did an about face and became the Head Maskerbator.

I use boraxo.

Borates don’t dry out the skin.

That’s good, I didn’t know that. If it works for you it works.

I wash my hands so many times a day I don’t even have to think about increasing the frequency. Bathroom hygiene, washing dishes, several times while cooking, coming in from the shop or garden and after numerous other chores. I use hand soap, dish soap and Dr. Bronner’s soap depending.

My concern is washing them so much that they dry and crack so I try to use minimal soap, minimal scrubbing and more reliance on rinsing the soap off instead of rubbing it off under running water. If I leave a fine film of veg. oil or animal fat while cooking that’s fine with me. Just enough so the skin isn’t totally leached of oil.

It’s hard to stomach the truth.

Infectious Disease Ping - Stomach Flu (Norovirus) on the rise
Prevention includes covid protcols: mask, frequent hand washing, and social distancing
Appears to spread with surface physical contact

(From the source): " As Covid-19 cases continue to fall in the United States, cases of another virus are rebounding to pre-pandemic levels.
Outbreaks of norovirus, the bug responsible for the dreaded stomach flu, have been on the rise since January, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

From August 2021 through the beginning of last month, the CDC reported 448 norovirus outbreaks.
During the same time period the previous year, just 78 were reported."

" Since early January, the number of weekly outbreaks has risen from fewer than 10 to more than 50.
The data is based on reports from state health departments in Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico,
Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming."

You wait, they are going to whip up an mRNA clot shot for everything. Stomach flu to booger formation.
