Don't worry Nerdy, that's just a bit of scaremongering:
"Although unpleasant, the illness is not usually dangerous and people usually recover fully within two to three days."
BBC NEWS | Health | 'Be vigilant' over vomiting bug
Thanks for the good wishes though.

Christ is that back again? I had that last winter, it wiped out most of the office. It might not be life threatening but it's deeply unpleasant.
I think I'll get some hand wipes to use after getting off the tube. Sounds like it's more of a risk up north though if this article is anything to go by

What Tory boy crap!
With friends like this does David Cameron need enemies?
What a hateful, sneering, pseudo-scientific, imbecile!

To answer your question DC, "yes" it's up here - my wife has it. To my certain knowledge she is neither dirty nor unhygienic. Interestingly, in Kate's BBC report they say, "Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have not seen any increase in cases of norovirus."
Are the southern English getting dirty or is Mr. Swaine just searching for any reason to curl his nostrils up at his fellow countrymen?

hmm, never heard of it down here. maybe cause i've not been around for awhile. if its up there, i imagine it should be down here with all the cross border shopping binges at the moment.
don't often read the telegraph so i don't know the vibe. i wonder if they factored sex into their scientific calculations cause it's also been officiated:
Women Carry More Bacteria Than Men

I "had" this last year about this time. Was great for a week off work and I handed in a copy of the Mail as my sick note. Bring it on!

The Mail and you only took a week off??8-o
The first of my staff returning from sick with that excuse will be told to go home for another week!

What if they brought in the Mail, Telegraph and Express??
This is the dreaded "cruise ship" virus. A crazy-spreading contact virus.
But you will be afforded some protection from the upcoming flu outbreak one doctor predicts about Christmas.
Alas, the germicidal properties of PG vapor (germ-killing vapor thread) will not help prevent the spread of norovirus, or the common cold's rhinovirus, for that matter. PG's protection is for inhaled viruses and bacteria.

i had this last week , luckily for me it only lasted a little over 24 hours, Man i've never vomited so much without the aid of obscene amounts of alcohol.
My Son had it for a few days and for a 3 year old handled remarkably well and not a complaint out of him.
But now my little princess has it She's only 5 months old and was struggling to keep even water down let alone her milk. She seems a little better today though..NHS direct has been a godsend...

Apo, really sorry to hear about your children. For little ones that young to get it, it is terrible. I hope she recovers quickly. You must be watching her like a hawk at the moment. Best wishes.
Thanks Suzi , the last 2 days have been dire, ringing the Doc's phoning NHS direct, very nearly took her to A&E yesterday because the wife was getting worried, anymore than a fluid ounce of anything it was back up.
We were up most of last night just syringing 10ml of water into the babes every 15 mins just to keep her hydrated. She's keeping milk down a little better today though so hopefully she's beating it now. Again though She's still smilin' away happy as Larry bless her...
