Some reasons why Norovirus spreads so much:
It is not killed by those Lysol/Clorox wipes or hand sanitizer gels (kills 99.9% of germs, guess who the .1% is)
A person is contagious for up to 48hrs AFTER symptoms END. This means that if you are sick for 24hrs, you are still contagious for another 2 days. And those virus particles you are shedding are not being killed with what most people are disinfecting with.

Wash your hands with soap and hot water, and if you are sick, stay home for 2 days after symptoms stop.

From the CDC " However, studies have shown that you can still spread norovirus for two weeks or more after you feel better."

You'll feel fine but can still spread it for weeks so unless you're going to go full bubble boy there's not a surefire way to stop it from spreading, i mean obviously wash your hands etc but I got it after working from home for two days straight, then spending an entire weekend at home by myself in zoom classes while my wife and child were away, Sunday night I was laid out...

The demon souls video and the donkey Kong country video are the only two gaming videos I left up when I made the change. They seem to be helpful so I'm glad you could use the demon souls video!

I also love the idiots in cars - it's a little tougher to get footage since it's just the things I personally see but I do have another one in the works since people can't seem to drive very well around me

I’ve got studded tires, 180 lbs of sand in the truck bed and a 4x4 Tacoma and you will definitely see me driving slow on the roads. When my daughter was 16 she hydroplaned on a road, and hit and killed a new mother with a 4 month old baby in the car. She wasn’t driving over the speed limit, but she was driving faster than conditions allow. Let that sink in. Your 16 year old daughter killed a new mother. Now slow the fuck down people. And hug your kids.

At least its quick! with some hindsight it's kind of amazing what your body is capable of it finds this virus in your gut and it's like hell no, and 24 hours later you're good to go.

Better than most of the nagging illnesses you get as a pre-school parent that sap your energy but you can't legitimately call out from work for.

I agree, its fast and furious. I have no idea where we got it from-the problem is there is no "lead up" to the symptoms, I felt fine, then an hour later I was in double trouble. I immediately quarantined in an in-law apartment until the symptoms went away, showered, changed clothes sanitized the shit out of everything....and my wife and daughter both still got it within the next week. Aside from a week of full on covid-style isolation it's almost impossible not to give it to the people you live with. At least little kids don't seem to get very sick with this one, my 4 year old was only sick for about 3 hours. Woke up puking at 3 am. by 7 am the next morning you wouldn't be able to tell there was anything going on.

> I mean, all you’ve done here is to make some kind of argument about passing in hazardous conditions.

It doesn't make sense to say it's hazardous because passing is an aggressive move when passing on a highway doesn't inherently require aggressive driving. Pass there would be dangerous even if you don't do anything of the things I quoted. It's hazardous because that lane is a slippery slush box, regardless of how you're driving in it.

I probably should've clarified more in my original post, but still.
