In 2006, 53 family members from six states gathered at a home in West Virginia for what should have been a pleasant one-day reunion. But within a few days of the reunion, at least 28 of the attendees had come down with a combination of diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, nausea, chill, and body aches.
The culprit: norovirus.
The case — later examined by local and state health officials — underlined just how wily norovirus can be, and how quickly it can spread, particularly among people in close quarters. It also helps explain why the suspected cases involving a dozen Republican staffers in the Cleveland area for the Republican National Convention have caused such alarm.

Within a couple of hours of disembarking Celebrity Constellation in Singapore on Sunday, 19 Feb 2017 I became very ill, vomiting over and over, and suffering brutal aches and pains all over my body. Luckily we had 2 days in Singapore before departing for Australia on Tuesday, 21 Feb. One & a half days after returning home I’m knocked down by what my local doc called Influenza A. That was 5 days ago but the wheezing in my chest is showing no signs of abating. Am wondering whether any other Constellation passengers have become ill in these ways.
what they mean when they say “possible norovirus outbreak” or “believed to be” what they are really saying is they just don’t know. i believe this is a mosquito borne parasite, I’m seeing it everywhere presents with same symptoms as nv with rash.
