Fortunately it seems confined to just Bellingham - keeping fingers crossed. It is a nasty one and highly contagious.
From Bellingham radio station KGMI:
Norovirus suspected in Whatcom County outbreaks
Whatcom County is seeing a possible norovirus outbreak.
It’s apparently hit a local school, a nursing home, and a basketball team in the past few weeks, and the Whatcom County Health Department expects it to spread.
Norovirus symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain, and it usually runs its course in a day or two without causing lasting problems.
But experts say it can be much more dangerous for kids, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
They say washing hands with soap and water is one of the best ways to stop the virus from spreading.
You don't die, you just want to.
