Cases of a wretched stomach bug are surging in parts of the United States this winter, according to government data.

The most recent numbers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show there were 91 outbreaks of norovirus reported during the week of Dec. 5, up from 69 outbreaks the last week of November.

Numbers from the past few years show a maximum of 65 outbreaks reported during that first week of December.

A norovirus infection is characterized by sudden vomiting and diarrhea. Outbreaks are often seen on cruise ships, in congregate living situations like nursing homes and jails, as well as schools and places where people are close together.

Here are a few things to know about the virus.

Yup. Unfortunately there's no vaccine for it. It appears the disease runs it's course in two days. Two days of vomiting and shitting. LOL

Norovirus Cases Are Up. Here’s How To Protect Against ‘Stomach Flu’

Outbreaks of the highly contagious "winter vomiting bug" are at their highest recorded level in years in the U.S. Here's how to reduce your chances of catching it.

How Can I Protect Myself Against Norovirus?​

You can protect against norovirus with vigilant hand-washing. Regularly wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom, changing a baby's diaper, shaking someone's hand or caring for someone with the disease.

Don't share food or drinks with a person infected with the disease, and make sure to wash any potentially contaminated sheets and clothes in hot water.

Washing fruit and vegetables and cooking seafood thoroughly will help prevent the virus spreading through food.

If you catch norovirus, you can protect others by staying at home for two days after your symptoms stop. You can pass on the disease for two weeks after your symptoms resolve, so make sure to keep washing your hands regularly.

Is There A Vaccine For Norovirus?​

Unfortunately, there's currently no vaccine against norovirus. But researchers at Moderna are recently started trials of a candidate shot that may one day offer protection.

Vaccines are the best way to prevent against several other seasonal illnesses, as well as other diseases like whooping cough and measles that are on the rise in the U.S.

Flu vaccines are available every year during fall. They are recommended annually for almost everyone over the age of 6 months, and are especially important for people at risk of severe disease, which hospitalizes betwen 140,000 and 710,000 Americans — and tragically kills an estimated 12,000 to 51,000 — every year.

RSV vaccines are available for older people and pregnant people, who can confer protection on to their vulnerable infants.

COVID-19 vaccines are recommended annually for anyone aged 6 months or older. They are particularly important for older adults, people at risk of severe disease, and people who have never had a vaccine.

Full details of each vaccine are available on the CDC website.

Gee, maybe bringing in millions of third world people into our country wasn't such a good idea after all.

Euh you do know norovirus is very popular within the united states because you dumb fucks don't wash your hands. Blaming brown people helps nothing.

Please leave your racism and bigotry out of this. People from third world shit holes are not exactly well versed in modern methods of hygiene. This is just a fact. No amount of bigotry from you will negate that.

Americans are no exception. I can’t believe how many people don’t wash their hands after using the restroom and this is me observing the behavior in airport restrooms, both males and females. It’s disgusting.

It is disgusting, I completely agree, but it's not like that is a new thing. Yet, this rise in norovirus cases is new. It's not unreasonable to consider the possibility that it could be due to millions of people from third world countries living in filthy, cramped conditions.

Goddamn do big lots like you see EVERYTHING thru’ the Stormfront lens?????

Lol, nice try. It's your side that are the racists.

If you really care, search my posting history, I've railed against the Stormfront white nationalist types. Opposing rampant illegal immigration has nothing to do with racism. My grandparents immigrated to the United States from Mexico, legally, and were staunchly against illegal immigration. As was Cesar Chavez. It has nothing to do with "brown people". So take your preconceived notions, write them down on a piece of aluminum foil, ball it up as tightly as you can, and shove it up your bigoted, racist arse. M'kay?

I think we should probably shut the whole country down soon, we can't afford this terrible bug to spread like wildfire. Trump will need to call for shelter in place and close down the US economy for about ......I don't know 3 maybe 4 years for this thing to run its course.
