Sue L Posted December 20, 2006 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Are you just kidding? I think you are. Cause norovirus is not just a cruise ship illness. I think many people are under the misconception that noro is JUST a cruise ship illness, when if fact it is basically what we called the "stomach bug". It is possible to catch it anywhere but you see the largest number of cases anywhere that many people are congregated together like a cruise ship, nursing home, schools, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 20, 2006 #6 Share Posted December 20, 2006 What do you think elementary schools are full of? That's why kids are so prone to the "stomach" thing! It's EVERYWHERE!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathyemma Posted December 20, 2006 #8 Share Posted December 20, 2006 At least I think it was Catholic - but one of the colleges here in DC just had an outbreak of it - during finals week. They were interviewing the students and some kept a trash can next to them during their finals so they throw up in class - gross. Not sure if the school was allowing makeups or not - but they should have. kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChattieKathy Posted December 20, 2006 #9 Share Posted December 20, 2006 This time of year, there is at least one puker per week at school! Then they all end up getting it and some of the teachers as well. I am almost never affected by the stomach bug, and I work with 3 and 4 year olds thru 7th graders. The worst it gets for me is a tummy ache, and a few extra trips to the bathroom. It is often hard to know if I am actually sick, or if my meal didn't quite agree with me. It is sometimes hard to remember, that my "minor inconvience" can be a big problem for others. I don't mean to defend people that infect others out of selfishness, but perhaps not everyone realizes that they are contageous? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
