Had a great Christmas with Family and friends in BTR on Monday, then some type of stomach flu has stricken several of us including me ( nausea, diarrhea, etc). Is this stuff going around??

I had it right before Thanksgiving. Diarrhea and vomiting for the first 12-24 hours, but I ran fever for a week.

Not the flu. It's either norovirus or rotatvirus or something similar. It comes from ingesting poo or vomit particles so you have some nasty, non-hand washing heathens in your family to thank for it.

My 11-year-old son was diagnosed with the flu last week before school ended he had no diarrhea and a little bit of nausea but never threw up.

Just terrible bodyaches so we took him to the doctor and got him some meds and he slept for two straight days

The flu that’s going around south Louisiana right now worries me way more than Covid ever did. Everyone I know and am related to either has it now or had it very recently and it’s been rough. Apparently is a very potent and contagious strain.

My first symptoms were Thursday night. Didn’t leave bedroom/bathroom the next two days. Made it out for a bit yesterday and ate some food. Got an IV on Xmas too. Feel much better today. Not great, but a hell of a lot better than I did.

I know this made the rounds in 2020 when people were claiming this is how COVID spreads, but norovirus works about like this, and this screwed up my head when I saw it decades ago:

Scrubs - how viruses spread

Had the worst stomach virus of my life after Christmas 2009 when some family brought their little poo shite kids over for Christmas that just had a stomach virus.
