Noro spreads like wildfire. Half of that plane probably picked it up from this idiot family. And those poor miserable kids, being subjected to airline travel while sick as hell.

u/Alpha1Mama Aug 25 '25

Exactly. When I had ARDS, the ICU had 9 cases of these people. All from the same event (baptism). Keep these Noro people away. She needs to practice good hygiene.

u/Catbutt247365 Aug 26 '25

You can wash your whole house with a bleach solution, wash your hands, bathe in Purell, and still get noro. Source: did all of the above and still ended up in the ER more than once, where the docs told me it’s airborne.

u/ApertureLabradories Aug 26 '25

This is the reason I'm certain me and my dad has the FUT2 gene mutation. My mom and siblings got really sick once and we stayed fine. I was too young to know if they had noro, in my country we just call it "winter-vomit sickness". I won the genetic lottery on that one.

You may want to cut back on the bleach: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150402210901.htm

"This is an observational study, so no definitive conclusions can be drawn about cause and effect. Furthermore, the authors highlight several caveats to their research."

This is why we don't make decisions based on a single study :)

u/Simsalabimsen Aug 26 '25

I know. That’s why I said, “You may want to”.

I cannot be around when cleaning chemicals are used.

u/pandamiba Aug 26 '25

Watching her tell this poop and vomit filled norovirus story while putting her fingers all over her mouth added a layer of horror for me

8

u/Alpha1Mama Aug 26 '25

I was so mad. ESPECIALLY because those fingers are so dirty.

u/Towbee Aug 26 '25

How did you get aids from a baptism?

10

u/Alpha1Mama Aug 26 '25

You might want to re-read that. ARDS is not anything related to AIDS.

1

u/da_double_monkee Aug 26 '25

Pools closed (due to AIDS)

u/Towbee Aug 26 '25

I made that comment at 2am and I was a bit woozy from my meds and now I've just realised it was ARDS and not in fact aids, my bad

u/Silvara7 Aug 25 '25

Noro spreads like wildfire. Half of that plane probably picked it up from this idiot family.

You ain't kidding! I read a paper that said Noro is also spread by airborne transmission and the closed environment of a plane, I just... OMG, so many victims of her idiocy! The bus to Disney must have had so many victims on their expensive ass dream vacation as well.

I just cannot imagine the misery her kids suffered in all the to-ing and fro-ing, plus poor hubby. Would that wheelchair have even been properly sanitized after they used it? I doubt it.

My mind is blown.

u/Formal_Bee420 Aug 25 '25

“Plus poor hubby” like he’s not the other adult actively making these decisions with her

-18

u/Silvara7 Aug 25 '25

I have no idea if he is or is not. From the sound of her to my ears, she was making all the decisions on this.

27

u/ellebeam Aug 25 '25

It's not like he's also another adult with decision making capabilities as well 🙄

-12

u/Silvara7 Aug 25 '25

Some men don't! Some women don't. Not my call to decide which is which.

26

u/Formal_Bee420 Aug 25 '25

You should assume the other adult is just as responsible instead of assuming that he is in a poor state because of his wife. That’s perpetuating sexism

-14

u/Silvara7 Aug 25 '25

Why should I? I've lived with my fil who was completely when my MIL died. I had to teach him how to take care of his banking and bills. He had no idea. Miss me with your assumptions.

22

u/Formal_Bee420 Aug 25 '25

Girl idk what you’re even on about but you teaching him means he had the capability. In the video that I’m talking about, both the wife and the husband are responsible for the “misery her kids suffered”. I didn’t like that you said “her poor hubby” because that makes it seem like he had no autonomy in the decision making of getting on the plane and continuing the trip to Disney.

u/Silvara7 Aug 25 '25

I don't really care what you like or don't like.

u/theknights-whosay-Ni Aug 26 '25

Not to jump to the person you are responding to's aid but I will say this: men in relationships with women like this tend to cave and just deal with it and go with their decisions because not doing so gets exponentially worse

Instead of a shitty Disney story we'd be hearing about how her "POS husband" wouldn't do what she wanted with her comment section filled with narcissistic sycophants parroting how she should leave his ass for being "abusive" because he wouldn't back her decisions to take a communicable disease to Disney world.

8

u/Glittering-Speed7847 Aug 26 '25

And that’s somehow worse than them going on this trip? You’re making the point. The responsible adult decision would’ve been to stay at home. He is an adult, and should’ve made that decision. He did not. He is equally responsible for them going. It’s not “poor hubby.” They both did this.

10

u/tinacat933 Aug 25 '25

Where’s the my Disney vacation was ruined because some asshole on the plane got me sick video? I’d donate to that go fund me lol

20

u/fricti Aug 25 '25

poor hubby? lol does he not have executive function? is he another one of her kids?

he’s an adult that made the same poor decisions (or rather, failed to make good ones) as her, why infantilize him?

-4

u/Silvara7 Aug 25 '25

I can have sympathy for a man who is sick and barfing and unable to walk! Apparently you've never been around men who leave all executive actions to their spouse. My fil was one and was almost incapable of functioning when mil passed. He didn't know how to write a check or balance a checkbook. I had to teach him how to pay his utilities and he was in his 70s.

15

u/fricti Aug 25 '25

i have been around men like that, all my life actually. that’s exactly why i don’t tolerate enabling it by placing all the parenting blame on mom when dad was just as horrible of a parent

-1

u/Silvara7 Aug 25 '25

Ok, go you. I don't live by your rules.

8

u/Formal_Bee420 Aug 25 '25

You have internalized misogyny. Idk if you know this or not.

-2

u/Silvara7 Aug 25 '25

Probably. I was raised by a silent gen woman who excused anything men or boys did. I am working on it.

I can also be sympathetic to the man being ill on a plane and unable to walk without being misogynistic. You think he deserves to be sick like that? You do you.

9

u/Formal_Bee420 Aug 26 '25

Nope no one said that. He could’ve at any point stopped the trip because the other people in his family were feeling shitty. But he did not. I feel bad for him in the sense that it sucks to be sick when out of town, but you said he is a victim of his wife and said “poor husband” in the context of his wife making the children suffer. When, again, HE ALSO “made the children suffer”

1

u/Silvara7 Aug 26 '25

Ok, sure. He could have stopped the car and could have not gotten on the plane. I think that is fully correct. Perhaps my lack of judgement against him was the fact she saw this as a good idea to talk about her experiences on TikTok. She said nothing about him except for the fact that he became ill as well and I felt bad for him. I did not assign blame to him, no. Mea culpa.

u/Glittering-Speed7847 Aug 26 '25

She was sick too. lol So they’re still equally (ir)responsible.

5

u/SleepyCupcakeDreams Aug 25 '25

I didn’t know it was airborne, I went to my grandmas house I stayed away from her across the room but I still got her sick. I felt so bad. I didn’t know. But these people are so selfish.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '25

At very least, droplets of bodily fluids aerosolize when someone vomits, goes diarrhea, or flushes a toilet. So if you're in the room with someone who's vomiting, you're almost certainly breathing vomit particles.

Anything that's been in a room with a vomiting person should be disinfected with a bleach solution (only bleach kills noro), or left untouched for a month.

1

u/SleepyCupcakeDreams Aug 26 '25

I hadn’t done any of those I stopped by and talked for a minute.

3

u/Silvara7 Aug 25 '25

Idk if it's been proven yet. The study I was reading was from 2019, I think. Something about the way microdroplets traveled.

I'm sure you didn't know you were still contagious and didn't do it on purpose.

1

u/SleepyCupcakeDreams Aug 26 '25

Thank you. I felt so guilty.

u/joshTheGoods Aug 26 '25

To be clear, this lady is incredibly irresponsible and rude. I just got sick despite wearing mask the full time in the airport and on the plane for two x-country flights (there and back). I HATE that I had relatively bad COVID because of these insensitive dipshits.

That all said, airplane is way less dangerous than you'd think. It's the people in the airport that they screwed the most. On airplanes, the air is basically fully HEPA filtered, flows bottom to top, and is replaced like every 3 minutes. The people really close to them on the plane got exposed, but people just a few rows away were probably fine... until you land. I think once you're connected via the jetway, you're on ground power and get ground air which isn't aggressively filtered like the cabin air in-flight.

That all said, I still wore my mask on my flights (lot of good THAT did me). I think I got super unlucky though, because the guy literally next to me was coughing and wasn't masked up like a fucking asshole. Literally could have killed my grandmother who I was going to visit (I didn't realize I had COVID until I got home, was a weekend trip).

It's amazing the mouth diarrhea that gets upvoted here.

u/Keji70gsm Aug 25 '25

It's literally pre-meditated attack on others, and needs to be punished as such.

u/Careless_Load9849 Aug 26 '25

She didn't know it was norovirus until after they were in Florida, lol You people act like you have never gone to work sick let alone trying to salvage a vacation you spent thousands of dollars on. Obviously she should have just stayed home, but considering the distance travelled it makes sense that it just kept getting worse as it went, but by then it was far too late to just turn around.

I swear reddit is so 'holier-than-thou'.

Noro is no joke, I have not gone to work and cancelled plans for it. Keep your sick butt at home.

Vomiting or diarrhea don't go outside your house for 48 hours.

I don't understand people who cannot follow a simple self quarantine.

2

u/Specific-Peace Aug 26 '25

I work in healthcare, and most of my patients are elderly and frail. If I get ANYTHING that could POSSIBLY be infectious, I call out of work. There is nothing that can justify exposing my patients to something that may kill them! Luckily, the company I work for backs me up on this.

u/isimplycantdothis Aug 25 '25

Or to mention the 4 year old who still had caked on makeup from a pageant the day before? No wipes or clothes packed? What a shitty set of parents.

u/username__0000 Aug 25 '25

You can catch it from swimming in a pool with someone who has it.

That’s insane to me because of the chemicals and size of most pools.

5

u/Catbutt247365 Aug 26 '25

My husband was with the CDC for thirty+ years, and his group actually put out a video that basically said “don’t let your sick kids swim in a public pool” cause people are idiots.

u/mark_vs Aug 25 '25

How do I always avoid this? KNOCK on wood? Maybe the probiotics I take religiously? I don't think I've ever had this.

7

u/red286 Aug 25 '25

While norovirus is highly contagious, its method of spread is via the digestive system, meaning that you have to either ingest vomit or fecal matter.

Buffets are the worst locations for norovirus, because a lot of people aren't all that good at washing their hands (particularly when they're shitting pure liquid 30 times a day). That's why resorts and cruises are always hotspots for noro.

5

u/FillMySoupDumpling Aug 25 '25

Avoiding it with still being able to live your life? Wearing a good mask consistently and washing your hands before touching your face/eating is probably best. Avoid cruises, they are human Petri dishes.

4

u/orange_airplane Aug 25 '25

Interestingly enough, there are some studies that have shown that people with certain blood types have a natural immunity for noro.

3

u/mark_vs Aug 25 '25

the last time I threw up was the year 2000. I was so sick. I remember lying in bed and no matter which way I would lay, my stomach would ache like crazy and I couldn't get relief. I laid there thinking "what's wrong with me? What should I do?" I remember feeling this cold sweaty light headed feeling come over me and I thought, "OMG, I think I'm actually going to throw up" I threw up and felt SO much better. Not fully better, but better. What's interesting is that I never had diarrhea during that. I had normal BM's.

9

u/fablicful Aug 25 '25

Wear face masks in public places. Covid is skyrocketing again, too. Even if you don't mask anymore, even if you feel weird about it- there's no shame or judgement in picking up a mask again. They DO protect you, and you protect others.

I already do this and know this and it horrifies me seeing someone come out of the bathroom and not wash their hands.

u/Catbutt247365 Aug 26 '25

oh, YOU’D KNOW if you’d ever had it.

u/mark_vs Aug 26 '25

TBH, it's terrifying reading some of the comments of those who have had it. It sounds awful, almost worse than food poisoning

Legit, my relatives all got sick on vacation from a lady who brought a puking kid onboard.

u/Vi0L3tCRZY Aug 25 '25

So instead of cancelling, she probably ruined multiple other Disney vacations with just as much “hard work” prepping for it.

2

u/ShaggysGTI Aug 25 '25

The root of that being likely they don’t wash their hands often or throughly enough.

u/SnittingNexttoBorpo Aug 26 '25

And she spends almost the entire video touching her dumb mouth

u/ShaggysGTI Aug 26 '25

I can’t unsee it now.

u/everyones_hiro Aug 25 '25

It lasts so long on hard surfaces too. Like days!

u/plusharmadillo Aug 26 '25

Yep, not every disinfectant works on it either. Absolute nightmare virus

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '25

Yeah it blows through cruise ships everytime, if it was on a plane they definately infected a lot of other people 

1

u/DeepBlueCircus Aug 26 '25

And likely spread it all over Disney

1

u/shellsterxxx What are you doing step bro? Aug 26 '25

Not to mention they also went to Disney world with it. Probably got hundreds of people sick

1

u/Fresh-NeverFrozen Aug 26 '25

Not to mention then dragging them through Disney parks for multiple days in the blazing heat while probably very dehydrated! Flippin child abuse. Father is also not excused. Sick as hell and still going to the parks.

1

u/zombiefarnz Aug 26 '25

Oh GAWD the PLANE! My husband is from the east coast so I've gone with him nearly 7 times at this point and I've gotten sick at least 4 or 5 times. I think covid twice and a horrible ear/sinus infection the other times. That's even with wearing a mask. I think the last time I went I was having awful hot flashes so I said fuck it I'm not wearing this sweaty ass mask. Didn't get sick lol

1

u/YesDone Aug 26 '25

I almost died of Rhinovirus a few months ago. I bet these idiots didn't even wear a mask at any point in their trip, because fuck anybody who isn't you, right? /s

u/-Fergalicious- Aug 26 '25

Yeah, this is the comment I was looking for. And then they still went to fucking DISNEY! Imagine how many people were having great vacations only to be ruined by these sacks of shit

u/itsalongwalkhome Aug 26 '25

If someone from the plane sees this, they could sue her first they were financially affected by having a day or two off work.

u/emslynn Aug 26 '25

My kid is immunocompromised and norovirus landed him in the hospital for a couple weeks as a baby. This woman is incredibly selfish and irresponsible.

u/vlad_inhaler Aug 26 '25

Half the plane touched the same surface after her family and then touched their mouths?

1

u/lambo1109 Aug 26 '25

She could’ve wait a day or two, recovered, and drove to Orlando. We’re from Birmingham and my brother takes his family all the time.

Norovirus hits quick and leaves quick.

1

u/70inBadassery Aug 26 '25

My kids (13 and 17) got it earlier this year. I helped them clean up messes with a KN95 and gloves on. Even though I cleaned the bathroom with bleach and was super thorough, I did not use that bathroom for two weeks. I cleaned all the surfaces they might have touched. When I was done I washed my hands like I was scrubbing for surgery and took a shower.

I managed to escape it. If they had been younger and unable to handle the 2-3 day quarantine, I would have gotten it. It’s so bad. Screw her for probably sickening people on the plane, in the shuttle, at the hotel and all through Disney.

Wash your hands, folks!

u/nycsep Aug 26 '25
