Noro on Celebrity Mercury
 

I just read on Fox news that there have been about 40 cases of noro (or
something similar) on this week's sailing of the Mercury. Down from 400+
last week. At least they're heading in the right direction.

Maybe 40 out of almost 2,000 passengers is normal for flu symptoms.

I don't think noro is generally similar to flu in terms of symptoms, or
the places each hits in the body. Flu is primarily upper and lower
respiratory: lungs, sinus, sore throat, etc., while noro is digestive
system.

You'd be correct. However since flu can also cause nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea, which are probably the most memorable symptoms, these two
tend to get tied together. Especially amongst those Of a Certain Age who
grew up when all viruses were more or less called "the flu".

Still think it could be in the preparation,and storage of food. See many
many people eating meat not really cooked done,that is the first no-no

They can tell the difference between a virus and food poisoning.

How done meat needs to be cooked depends on the meat. Steak is ruined
if it is cooked more than medium rare. Ground beef should probably be
cooked at least medium.

The CDC says 3% of the population has Noro all the time. So
those number are just slightly above normal.

Noro, and food poisoning are not related. Food poisoning can
cause similar symptoms, but is not passed from one
individual to another, and usually lasts a lot longer.

Obviously you are not a cook, ground beef needs to be cooked well
done. Steak is different.
Explain.

I wonder if it's because cruisers are finally getting with the program
and _washing_their_hands.
