Lot of fest action going on in SW Germany, and it appears that this norovirus has started up.
More than 700 folks affected....mostly nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
City of Stuttgart health folks say it was NOT food or drink where it got passed around....just folks going to the bathroom, and FAILING to wash hands (usually a guy-thing).
The bad thing about this? There's no real medication to use. You simply go through the 24-to-72 hour business....rest...and hydrate.
Avoiding crowds and fests for now? Well....if you use alcohol wipes, and wash after using a rest-room.....in most cases, you might prevent a case.

Actually norovirus won't get destroyed by alcohol sanitising, you're only defense is soap and water as the fatty shell around it protects it. But if you emulsify, you can wash it off.
Useless trivia for you.
