    Just wanted to share–my boyfriend is horrendously ill and my coworker was out last week due to norovirus. We work in the same building, albeit different floors in West Seattle.

    I’m starting to feel sick, and just as a PSA–wash your hands. It’s one of the most contagious bugs out there. If you’re sick, please stay home and only go back 48-72 hours after symptoms stop. (That means a week off of work!)

    Bleach is the only thing to kill it and norovirus can live on surfaces for up to 2 weeks. (Lysol and Clorox wipes do not work–much to my chagrin.)

    Hate to be the tummy virus alarmist, but our household doesn’t wish this on anyone, ever. It’s gross.

    I had it last April when another round went through the neighborhood, etc. I’m so sorry. I do not wish it on anyone. Yes, horrendous, gross, and a whole lot of other words that come to mind. :(

    Ginak,

    Please make your PSA more helpful by identifying the building where you and your boyfriend work. Otherwise, is there perhaps another location where you both might have become infected?

    This is bad news for anyone who rides the bus, aka the “rolling Petrie dish”.
