Norovirus spreads through sick people and contaminated surfaces Surfaces can get contaminated with norovirus in many ways, including when:

An infected person touches the surface with their bare hands that have feces or vomit particles on them An infected person vomits or has diarrhea that splatters onto surfaces Food, water, or objects that are contaminated with norovirus are placed on surfaces Tiny particles of vomit spray through the air and land on surfaces or enter a person’s mouth, then he or she swallows it

That's from the CDC. You're welcome to try your luck🤷‍♂️

Moved here from out of state, and I thought it was weird too initially until I realized Vermont does much less pre-treatment of roads ahead of storms (if any), and there are generally less trucks out plowing than in more populis states. I never used to balk at driving in a snow storm, and I hate driving in snow storms here, and that's even after purchasing a 4x4 vehicle.

Insuring just legislators would probably be "expensive". Enacting Medicare for All nationally would save $300 billion a year. When Shumlin killed single-payer here, the report he commissioned showed that even in the worst case projections, the overwhelming majority of Vermonters would have come out ahead, something like paying $4 in taxes to save $5 in premiums. The case is even better now that for-profit health care costs have grown exponentially in the 10 years since then.

So the answer is - easily! Keeping the status quo is the fiscally irresponsible choice.

family had it almost two weeks ago. Was only throwing up for 12 hours but I couldn't stomach anything for a solid week after.

And yes, use bleach cleaner to kill noro. You're still infectious up to a week after getting it so clean your bathroom with bleach regularly, even when symptoms clear up.

Also, call your doc and get some zofran, that really helps ease up the puking.
