I've only been hit by noro on shore. Last time was from a Luby's (I
don't get it at home, something about even washing my hands with
Chlorox). I don't see what my in-laws see in that place, and now I
don't see in that place at all.

The day care down the street was hit for the third time in six months.
The assisted living center that Ruby and I visit was hit, again, two
weeks ago. I don't know of more than six people who have been hit on
a cruise ship.


Dillon, I remember when a Hilton hotel in Washington D. C. was closed
because the norovirus was so bad. Still, the news prefers to call it the
cruise virus.


One of the local TV stations said "the virus, sometimes referred to as
the "cruise ship virus" strikes about 10 million people every year,
mostly in day care and assisted living facilities. Since only cruise
lines are required to report outbreaks, the actual numbers and
locations are unknown"

For those of you in Austin, KEYE.

fine going on.
