Norovirus Outbreak in Toronto School

[ButterfliesInHerEyes]

The news is reporting an outbreak of norovirus in a school in Toronto (Etobicoke to be exact). A few hundred students and teachers are absent, but it seems while it came on suddenly and violently, it runs its course just as quickly... usually in a day or two. The kids who are already back seem perfectly fine and not traumatized by it. So if little kids can get through it and then brag about how they "barfed all over the place" how bad can vomiting really be?

Kids. They barf so easy.

Surprisingly, the parents who spoke on cam didn't report being sick at all, not even one lady who had to do a "lot of mopping, and used a lot of paper towels" from having THREE kids sick at home.

So maybe it affects kids more than adults. Maybe there IS some level of immunity.

There is a level of immiunuty, for sure!

We need a "norometer" that will tell us if we are immune to the current strain of Noro going around!
