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. Harry Cooper |

Harry Cooper 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. --Tom |

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". -- I get off on '57 Chevys I get off on screamin' guitars --Eric Clapton |

Steak is ruined if it is cooked more than medium rare. Ground beef should probably be cooked at least medium. -- Charles |

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. |
