Norovirus, the virus that causes stomach flu, increases in the winter because people are more confined. Around here, it's on a small rampage. I oughtta know -- I do norovirus control for a very large health department.

Yes it always does this time of year. To keep yourself from getting it practice good hand washing and buy Lysol for home and office and spray hard surfaces that are commonly used by everyone like door knobs, sink levers, toilet lever, refrigerator and stove knobs ect... It will go far to protect you and your loved ones. Oh yeah phones too!
