Fifth #norovirus outbreak hits Holland America ships since December - UPI.com https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2025/02/26/ZH/9821740620243/
Via the CDC, and the bit about cruise ships gives some context to this:
https://www.cdc.gov/norovirus/outbreak-basics/index.html
"These outbreaks often get media attention, which is why some people call norovirus the "cruise ship virus." However, norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships account for only a small percentage (1%) of all reported norovirus outbreaks."
It's because the ships test and report regularly that you hear about them, but not so much the other 99%.
@neonbubble @GottaLaff Picked it up on a flight. Norovirus isn’t something you forget.
Never had it, or not had anything that was determined to be it. Had various ailments that likely came via schoolkids as my wife and her sister work in schools, but as nothing was tested and it was just let to run its course, no way to know for sure. We've been on 37 cruises, though, and been okay (that's probably jinxed it), and it's not hard to see why given how much cleaning constantly takes place on them.
@neonbubble @GottaLaff It’s short-lived, sudden onset, pretty unique - 24-36 hours, over & done.
