Quite, I watch very little telly and norovirus would be far to
"scientific" for the daytime TV audience. News I get mainly from the BBC
website and occasionally the sites of the local rags.

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.

It started yesterday morning with a high temperature, followed by D and

early this morning.
Just about everyone he was in contact with has a high temperature and
feel
unwell. As yet no D and V.

Do take care, Baz. Hope you don't get it.
It must be a worrying time for the lad's parents. Do report back in the
new year.

Intersting reply - how is Baz supposed to take care to avoid catching
Norovirus. I'm not being funny in asking this, but what precautions can one
take to be safe other than being fastidiously clean. One can't avoid
breathing in the germs.

Quite, I watch very little telly and norovirus would be far to
"scientific" for the daytime TV audience. News I get mainly from the BBC
website and occasionally the sites of the local rags.


Quite.
Did you mean far to "scientific" or far too "scientific"
I am guessing that English is not your first language. Or is it to or too
or two "scientific" for you?
Get the basics right, and less of the shite.

Makes your gushing and repetative Christmas Greetings somewhat hollow
when you post vitriolic replies like the one above.

Norovirus is highly contagious and is transferred by contact quite
amazingly easily. That's why it's so very important to sterilise
things that are touched by a lot of people. Door handles, loo handles,
computer keyboards, telephones - all sorts of things most of us never
think about. I am one of those that thinks e.g. Cif and hot water
deals with most things but in this case, I would certainly use
disinfectant wipes at work and in my home and carry a gel at all
times, if I know I've been in contact with someone with that virus, or
even in the same workplace.

Thats it in a nutshell. Thanks, Sacha

In the event of prolonged vomiting, it's "Lo Salt" salt substitute you
need i.e. part sodium, part potassium. It's what the saline drip
contains that they put you on in hospital.
