Thanks for the ping.

I have a four hour layover in the Toronto airport on Friday on my way to Europe. Should I huddle in a corner somewhere and throw a blanket over my head? ;^)

Seriously, though, are there ANY viable precautions one can take, aside from prayer?

Wash your hands a LOT, and don't touch your face.

Yes. Stay out of hospitals. That's where the infections have been occuring. It's not out in the community as far as anyone has been able to discern.

Just reading up about norovirus: Like SARS, it also lives on surfaces for several days. It also is shed through fecal matter for up to 2 weeks after recovery.

The bottom line is: People who are feeling better are walking disease spreaders.

So, learn to keep your hands away from your face. Teach your children to keep their hands away from their faces. Wash and sanitize!

I think it might also be a good idea to avoid using the toilets, if you can.
