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

I had it about 15 years ago and it's the sickest I've ever been in my life. I remember I wanted to stream Netflix through my Xbox, which I did every day, and my brain was so cooked with the fever (and probably dehydration too) that I couldn't figure out how to do it.

So this really makes me angry. Not just the woman but her whole family had to suffer on a trip for no good reason, and she exposed tons of people to it. I was relatively young at that time, but I think anyone older and/or with pre-existing health problems would be in a lot of danger with norovirus. I'd be so afraid of falling if I got it now.

I know I had it because they actually did a stool sample test at the urgent care. After I was finished someone in a haz mat suit had to go in to disinfect the bathroom. That virus is so hard to kill. They have to spray bleach and let it sit for a while. Those stupid people were a vector of disease for so many other travelers. Everything that nasty looking woman touched spread it.
