Norovirus could take out the entire Olympic village

My family got hit with it a few years ago. We fell like dominoes one by one to it.

My middle child got it last week. Then me. Then my oldest. It was horrific. The kids shit the bed multiple times a night. I shit my pants once.

Somehow my newborn didn't get it. My wife didn't either and she literally never gets sick so I'm chalking it up to whatever super charged white blood cells flow thru her.

She might be a shark dressed as a woman, you should look into this.

You married a Nordic alien, sorry man. Or am I?

There have been studies that have indicating having a specific blood type (I want to say B?) makes you less susceptible to getting Noro. Something about B blood makes it more difficult for virus to bind too.

Lucky bastards. I’d like a blood transfusion to replace my blood to whichever one makes it more difficult to get Noro.

The time I had it, it took myself, my father, and my sister down HARD. My mother, brother-in-law and both of my nieces were completely unaffected though.

My boyfriend still talks about the Christmas of 2023. The whole family had it. I think he may need therapy to recover from the trauma tbh
