Sydney stran of NV

[LisaLisa]

Just read a yahoo.com article about the Sydney strain of the Norovirus hitting the US (where I live). It mentions nothing in the article that makes this strain different from any others--just that some people might not be able to fit it off it their gut as wells as others (presumably from no immunity from a previous bout of it).

Seems like what we have known for months here. Some are still immune. There have been diff strains to show up in previous years and some did not get sick at all.

Wash hands, keep your hands out of your mouth, stop researching noro, breathe, relax, live your life.

I'm just praying it doesn't hit the nursing homes hard this year! We've been on an upper respiratory quarantine for 3 weeks and just re-closed because we have confirmed cases of the flu . My poor residents are weak and sick as it is, they don't need the yucky noro on top of it. Winters are always rough for the elderly.. doesn't seem fair.

Me too, Cynna.. me too! I'll be there to love them if they do get it. Sometimes when you're sick all u need is a hug
