Thank you for sharing :)

newsies will be newsies. Always looking for the big headline.

 

according to the cdc, last year only about 1,300 passengers and crew reported illness from norovirus, out of over twenty million passengers (not counting crew)!

 

Math is your friend. That's less than 1 out of 15,000 people who cruise will get sick. No normal person has 15,000 acquaintances in their everyday life, yet we all know a handful of people who get the "stomach flu" each year.

 

That means you are less likely to get sick on a cruise than you would be if you stayed home and ran through your normal daily routines!

 

Don't buy the hype... It's a contagious disease every bit as much as the virus.
