Teacher in the area - it’s been hitting my school for the last two weeks. I’m gonna be bombing out the faculty rr a few times tomorrow for sure.

One just ran through our family. Our infant Wed, wife Thursday and hit me yesterday. Neither of us can ever remember being so sick and it hit us both out of nowhere. Like joking one sec and running to the bathroom the next.

Moving onto my parents now. Luckily it seems to be a day or two and then it’s done

I’m hearing it’s actually a good stomach bug

Yes! 😫 🙋🏻‍♀️ the students in my classroom gave it to me. Most came back the day after throwing up.

Sanitize your door knobs and steering wheels. Wash your hands with hot water

Can I ask why it's not an option? I don't need detail if it's a personal time off thing. I'm more curious if your school district is putting pressure on you to show up or if there isn't adequate sub coverage in your area. I have 2 teachers in my family hit by this stomach bug and both stayed home because of the ferocity and communicability of the symptoms so I'm figuring your symptoms are very mild or your job is at risk.

A shot of whiskey a day keeps the Dr's away, plus it makes you feel good. Win Win ✌️ 🥃

A little over a week ago my family had it. My son puked every other day, I couldn't get off the toilet for five days and my wife puked for about four days. It was awful.

Excuse YOU? Sorry, my dad has parkinsons and has been a vegetable for 3 years now. Pardon me for being curious about something that could end up killing him. I haven't had a night out in 3 years. Sorry if you can't understand that.

It's Norovirus and it sucks when you get it. Usually it is over after 24-48 hours.

Yup, family of 4 here with it. Seems to linger quite a while although the worst of it passes quickly.

Yup. My daughter has it. Both my kids have been sicker in the last month then they've been healthy. I'm starting to think there have been more "super bugs" accidentally released.

Look up COVID conjunctivitis and COVID toe.

COVID is so hard to kill off, it preoccupies your immune system and you end up with flare ups of your toe fungus and your eye boogers.

Most people probably don't even notice that their athletes foot flared up when they got COVID or woke with a bit more crust in their eye than usual.

Severe COVID toe, 🤮. Large, yellow, puss-filled fissures of the skin, severe swelling, and bleeding. IV antifungal, surgical debridement, and partial amputation in the most severe cases; could progress to necrosis, sepsis, organ failure, and death.

Imagine getting tricked by antivax conspiracies and then getting killed by essentially severe athletes foot, secondary to COVID-19. 🤣

It's always around.

It's extra around right now because of COVID, in two ways. First, peoples bodies are busy fighting off COVID basically all the time, and as a result other pathogens are able to survive a bit better, sometimes much better, and RSV is surviving long enough in the body to make it to the lower airways, where it can cause breathing issues and normal viral fever, aches, etc. Second, people aren't being as sanitary with distancing, masking, hand washing, cleaning, and eating urinal cakes again and so forth, and so lots of people who didn't have it for a long time are getting it again, lots of kids getting it for the first time, so their RSV antibodies are low or non-existent, and it survives long enough to become symptomatic, which includes cough-spraying droplets of lung fluid, spreading the virus.

Horrible! I felt like puking the entire time not took EVERY prescription, over the counter, and natural remedy we had on the house. I ended up being severely nauseous and 💩 dozens of times,but kept the actual puking at bay. Bad stomach pains. Even now a few days out, I get stomach pains whenever I eat anything at all, even bone broth.
