My record for not being stuck down by any viruses or bugs running back 8 years has ended :(

:bigcry: :sick2:

 

Although hopefully I'm over the worst of it

Just heard about that on the radio... (bbc) Sounds nasty. :(

 

You certainly have my sympathy. *Grabs another kleenex*

Notice something that is the same about our 3 moods?

We're all sick

Yup, except by the sounds of things yours is far worse.

 

I've had a headache for the past 3 days. Yesterday was the worst. I was able to get outside today, so thats a good sign.

It's spreading throughout the UK.

 

Doesn't help when people carrying the bug carry's on like nothing has happened, spreading it around more.

Goodness Dave, the beeb is writing stories about you! :stunned:

 

I was sick a few weeks back and I'm finally getting back to speed, so you all have my sympathy.

:lol: Before i opened this I thought you had a computer virus.....never heard of this one.

^Yeah that was the first thing that came to my mind as well.

I thought it was a problem with Norton Antivirus..:lol:

....never heard of this one.

The BBC and the British press in general always do this. Everyone has heard of stomach flu, but that doesn't sound serious enough. It usually makes the rounds at work places or schools, places where there are many people in close contact. But by calling in NOVOVIRUS it sounds so deadly. :rolleyes: It can be really bad on cruise ships. When you hear stories about large populations of passengers getting sick on a cruise, norovirus is generally the culprit.

Well i don't live in the UK.

hope you'll feel better soon :)

ugh, any sickness involving the stomach is just the worst. or at least i think so.

you all have my sympathy, and i hope you get well soon!

i nearly died from strep throat in august, but because of that and the fact that i work in a doctors office, i think i have a pretty good immune system right now. i really hope the norovirus doesnt jump over to the US!

Right, I'm feeling a lot better today, with just a bit of a head-ache, and tiredness.

 

It would only take someone with the virus to get on a plane, which causes everybody on the plane to be infected, and for it to carry across into America.

good to hear that you're feeling better :) ... you should rest a bit...

Yeah don't do anything too physically vigorous...just rest. Hope you feel better Dave :nice:

Hope you get better soon!!

Yup, except by the sounds of things yours is far worse.

 

I've had a headache for the past 3 days. Yesterday was the worst. I was able to get outside today, so thats a good sign.

 

 

Yep, bunch of sickos were are... :confused: Though I am almost completly better finally.

oh, i bet the norovirus is here in several places already--its just that america is so big that the epidemics are pretty localized...on the other side of my state right now there are rampant illnesses (one of which sounds pretty similar to norovirus) that are hardly present whatsoever here.

 

glad to hear youre feeling better :)

It will reach you, as it's very hard to destroy and spreads easily.

There has been some outbreaks here also.

just remember you have to have 48 hours symptom free before going back to work.

Well, I'm back to work Monday, even though the kitchen will be closed and the camp is on regimental stand-down for another week, it's just as I don't have any more holiday left.
