thuth about norovirus

HI....well, do you really want to know the truth about the "cruise ship
virus"? It is not food related at all. It is an awful bacteria carried by
one passenger, then it spreads like wild fire.

That passenger was either sick when they came onboard and/or does not wash
their hands with the sanitizer provided or soap/water.

I work on a cruise ship....when the medical staff says stay in your cabin for
three days...even though the vomiting and diarreha has stopped...you are
still contagious.

It is not pleasant for the passengers..and believe me...a lot of crew members
get the virus also.

Do not touch doorknobs, do not use bannisters, do not shake hands, be aware
if using the library books..that someone else has touched them. Always,
always wash your hands. And, use the dining room for breakfast, lunch and
dinner instead of the Lido deck all the time.

It is a virus...not food poisoning.

No matter what they tell you what your getting is some kind of food
poisoning. Hot food in the buffet area should be kept at 140 degrees.
I have been on 12 cruises and the food in the buffet areas is luke warm
at best therefore causeing bacteria to multiply. Why to you think the
first thing they do is close the self service first and tell you to wash
your hands. they want to put the blame somewhere. believe me its food
poisoning.

You can find out what the ship was cited for by pulling up the atlanta
ship inspections,they tell you when the ship was inspected,and what was
wrong.

Screw that, drop him.

Knocks him down and makes him dead.


In competition, almost everything I shoot is double tap. I'm afraid
that would carry on into a defensive shooting. "I fired, he continued
to advance, so I fired again". "The first round entered slightly
inferior to the nasion, the second in the inferior orbit of the right
eye".
