Never heard of that, Dave.
Good grief where have you been hiding? Norovirus is in the news fairly
often, either 'cause it's got into a hospital and they are stopping
vistors and possibly closing wards for cleaning, it gets onto a cruise
ship and affects everybody (passengers and crew). It's unpleasant but
for a normal healthy person not a great threat. Keep your fluids up,
mostly water. Bananas and full fat coke are good once you can keep
stuff down, so you don't get dehydrated and lose to many salts.
Some of us are to busy to watch daytime tv.
