Went into work today only to discover a co-worker has got norovirus Apparently she came down with it last Thursday (6 days ago) and was so violently ill her husband called the paramedics!! They stayed with her for a couple of hours monitoring her but said they didnt want to take her to A+E due to the high risk of her spreading it to others. She still is too ill to come into work. I rang her husband to see how she was and he said she stopped v* and d* a few days ago but is so weak that she can only stand for a few mins before she needs to go back to bed.

This is a woman who is never ill. Ive worked there 4 years and the only time off she has taken was a day when she slipped a disc. She only works mon-wed and goes nowhere except work and to the cafe for lunch with the rest of us. Her husband brings her to work and picks her up. What I don't understand is how she could have picked it up? My rational side is saying I'm safe cos she developed it 6 days ago but theres another part of me thats saying I've touched surfaces and office equipment today that she touched last week.

I have felt sick all day. I'm telling myself its anxiety but what if it isnt.......
