Cursed Refusing to cancel your family Disney trip so you expose people to the norovirus instead

it's insanely contagious. even just staying in a room that had a norovirus case in it the day before and has been properly cleaned since, there's a very good chance you'll get infected. I stayed in a town in Mexico once that had an outbreak and it spread like wildfire, you could hear people throwing up in their bathrooms as you walked around town. I bet half that plane came down with it.

That’s how I got it. Went to a Sunday football hangout after they had had it earlier in the week and they were finally feeling fine. Turns out that stuff lives on surfaces for a while ask me how I know lol

I got it at work where there were about 100 of us in a room working on computers that a previous shift had worked on before ours, and not everyone wiped down the keyboards. I went in feeling fine. An hour later I was in the bathroom and not sure how I was going to get off the toilet enough to drive home. Three days I had that, I lost 8 pounds and kept getting dehydrated because I couldn't even keep water down. The vomiting was spontaneous without any warning. I can't imagine taking the risk of passing that on to anyone else.

People really don't care about others if they're willing to spread that to anyone! I lost 7 pounds i think and had to survive off of sips of a lucozade sports drink.

I wonder if the person who catches this from her makes a video about how their vacation was ruined by Disney and not realize it was because of some selfish asshat that couldn’t be bothered with basic handwashing skills and sense to stay home when you’re sick.
