Things that are making you crabbit! [2]

I hope it stops before Tuesday when I have class again.- Eldo

This is exactly what is wrong with youth today. In my day we would have been thinking' I hope I can keep pretending I'm still sick till Tuesday so I dont have to go to class again."

Show some initiative- you'll never learn how to skive off work with that attitude my lad!

i am never so sick i can stay home :/ and when i am... it's on days we have tests, which is not a good thing, cus u have to take it later, and well.. it's nice to get it over with while it's fresh.

well I hope you all feel better soon, Winters horrible.

We are all getting over the "winter vomiting virus", Theres nothing worse than poo-ing & chucking at exactly the same time ! Your even scared to "trump" in case you "follow through" !

Thanks guys. And Petty, I will celebrate when I don't have class due to weather or something, but when I feel like this it makes even just hanging out around the house unpleasant.

Um....thanks for that, Azriel. Fortunately in New York all rooms are small, so I can sit and lean over the tub at the same time, if need be. Also just as fortunately, we don't have the winter vomiting virus. You are NOT allowed to visit during the winter....

" You are NOT allowed to visit during the winter...."
Oh,go on ! why not ?
its a great way to lose weight ! In fact I thought I had lost nearly all my internal organs at one point !

aint funny Petty ! (well, Im laughing NOW) It fired out of me like a firemans hose on FULL power ! I was so weak I was crawling

no sorry, really though, I hope you are feeling better. It sounds horrible. It was in the news here a lot, I have never heard of it before, is it something new?

OI!

no really it is called Nora virus, i shit you not!

Norovirus, sometimes known as the winter vomiting bug, is the most common stomach bug in the UK, affecting people of all ages.
The virus, which is highly contagious, causes vomiting and diarrhoea. As there is no specific cure, you have to let it run its course, but it should not last more than a couple of days.
Having norovirus can be an unpleasant experience, but it's not generally dangerous and most people make a full recovery within a couple of days, without having to see a doctor.
Between 600,000 and 1 million people in the UK catch norovirus every year. You may have heard of it as the “winter vomiting bug” because the illness is more common in winter. However, the virus can be caught at any time of the year.
The virus is easily spread by contact with an infected person, especially through their hands. You can also catch it through contaminated food or drink or by touching contaminated surfaces or objects.- NHS website

well thats the first time I have heard of it, and being a hypo I would have heard of it when I lived in the UK. so is it a new virus I am wondering?

It sounds like you don't get immunity by getting it.

Nora you are probably protected because nothing can survive the winters up there unless it's got fur.

Gets as far north as Scotland, sadly.

Wait, "winter vomiting virus" is a real term? I thought that was a joke.

The snowfall closing airports all up and down the east coast is actually a clever method to impose a quarantine to protect the USA.

this norovirus is bullshit..fuck you whoever named that darn thing.

I don't remember hearing about the Noro-virus when I was younger, my guess is that the media wasn't told that it had a name until a few years ago.
