    Angry Norovirus warning and its signs-its nothing to take as a joke!

    The hospital where my wife is a nurse has been hit with a outbreak of the Norovirus which is very contagious and can be deadly. This is not something to take likely guys & gals.

    Some of the signs of this seem similar to the 24 hour stomach flu-but these last for days. And here is what signs to be aware of: nauseated, vomit several times a day, diarrhea, cramping and fever. So if you have these signs for more then one day and they don't improve see a doctor-just don't think it go away!

    Here is the online news story about my wifes hospital in today's Oakland Press.
    People can become infected with the norovirus by eating food or drinking liquids contaminated with it; touching contaminated surfaces or objects and then placing their hands in their mouth; or having contact with another person who is infected.

    "It is very easily transmitted by touching, using the same doorknobs, those sort of things," CDC spokesman Curtis Allen said. "There is no reason why it couldn't be in a hospital."

    Allen said anyone who believes they have the norovirus should drink a lot of fluids.

    "The main danger is dehydration," he said.

    Wife may have it was one reason I posted it. She came home and has been on popsicles and jello and sleeping between running to the bathroom.

    Wife still got the bug-so I get the spare bedroom again tonight.

    It sucks when someone on the throne and holding a wastebasket too. This is a very nasty illness!

    I hope your wife feels better soon.

    And I know nurses typically have tough work schedules, high demand for their services and all, but hopefully her work is letting her stay home to recouperate- both for her own sake and for the sake of her patients who might catch it from her!
