Question: Poll: Have you or your kids had the stomach flu the last couple of weeks.?
Answers:
Yes.
Daughter aged 4 had vomiting and diarrhea last week
Delaware.
But you know we shouldn't call this "stomach flu" because it has nothing to do with influenza. Viral gastroenteritis, or "viral gastro" . Almost all cases in adults are due to norovirus. In children who are now vaccinated against rotavirus, that virus has been practically eliminated. Great idea to get that roto -- vaccine for your kids -- data is looking fantastic!
trouble is, that the "stomach flu" label makes people think this is caused by influenza, and can be prevented by a flu shot . Neither is true.Health Question & Answer

NO! Thank God :)
During Noro virus season, I am such a stickler about keeping our hands washed before touching our faces.
If everyone washed their hands properly after going to the bathroom, this virus would become rare.Health Question & Answer
