I feel atrocious. Hoping my dad doesn't find out or he'll be round here force-feeding me Diolyte. If you don't know what it is, be glad.

er...what is vomit virus?
A nasty little visitor that affects your stomach and causes you to puke and ... else.
We have a variant here in Germany also, called Noro. He won't win the most-adored-price also.

er...what is vomit virus?
It's a virus called "winter vomiting virus". It is easily spread in confined spaces such as schools, offices, hotels, hospitals and cruise ships.
For most people it is a short-term unpleasantness that lasts about three days. For those who are already ill from some other complaint, it can be devastating.
The name describes the symptoms - violent and frequent vomiting (barfing). It arrives suddenly. One of my daughters was at work, felt slightly queasy, and just managed to grab a wastepaper bucket before her last two meals came out in a spurt.
It can lead to dehydration - hence the diolyte J-L mentioned.
Treatment - rest, liquids only for 24 hours then light food such as toast.

Considering the way people travel these days it's probably spread all over the world by now.
One of the great inventions for spreading disease is the Jumbo Jet.

We got it from you and your Lisbon-kind! I blamed the oysters when we started dying of the damned bug the day after New Year's, but 5 days after that, everyone in the family came down with it, and the only place we went to before it happened was Lisboa!

Murderer! Charley got over it in a little over 24 hours, but with my immune system being what it is, it took me a whole week before I could have a proper regular-person-portion-sized meal.
It was a great-tasting picanha, though. Talk about symmetry.

Well that blows.
My sympathies. Few things feel as lousy as nausea.
Edited to add:
GatorAde. And more GatorAde. And some saltine crackers.

The local hospital are discouraging visitors except for the most seriously ill of the patients. Min had to attend an out patients appointment yesterday, she says there was a woman inside the door with a container of sanitising gel and making everyone coming and going out put some on their hands and rub it in.
Good move.
We haven't had too many cases in the prison yet - except for my compatriot in arms, the other typist who works in a building deep inside the prison. She was off work for 5 days. I can't imagine the chaos if it got into the prisoner population!
We're all being told to exercise careful hygiene at all times. Washing hands etc.
We get this every winter, but I don't think it's been this bad or widespread before.
