I don't think it's a flu-like virus. Flu's a respiratory illness, this is strictly GI. And I could see crews infecting themselves over and over until the virus works its way through everyone. What's the incubation period for this virus, anyway, anyone know?

Well, OK. I've always associated flu with barfing and diarrhea, but I guess I've been wrong all this time...

All I can tell you is that a doctor told one of my co-workers he had the same thing that they were getting on the ships.

Yesterday I read the incubation period for Norwalk is 24-48 hours. Also once infected you should have immunity for about 24 months.
