I just read the story.....

 

3465 pass. 1190 crew = 4655 total people

 

229 pass 18 crew got sick = 247 people got sick

When someone in my house or office get sick it seems like anywhere from 20 % to 50 %

 

of the crowd gets sick....

Once the percentage is over 5 % the CDC is notified, that is the way the news get the information. The concern when you are on a ship, it is a closed enviroment and potentially the virus could spread, it sounds like RCCL is on top of it though.

Seems I read somewhere on the boards that once you come down with symptoms, you get quarantined to your quarters. Anybody know or have experience with this?:confused:

I saw it too and promptly switched the channel so DH ( he's paranoid enough about seasickness let alone norwalk!) wouldn't see it! Must be slow at CNN is right :rolleyes:

I drank a couple pitchers of good beer and a bunch of cheap wine a couple times in college. Got those same symptoms. Guess I had a Norwalk "LIKE" virus.

It is that time of year when people get sick and instead of staying home go on vacation go to work and they make other people sick. They should stay home
