More than 100 passengers and over a dozen crew members have fallen ill with norovirus aboard the Caribbean Princess during a 13-day voyage through the Eastern Caribbean. The Princess Cruises ship departed Port Everglades, Florida, last week and is scheduled to arrive at Port Canaveral in the state Monday. At the time of the outbreak, the vessel was carrying 3,116 passengers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 102 passengers became sick with the highly contagious stomach virus. In addition, 13 of the 1,131 crew members onboard also reported illness. Those affected experienced typical norovirus symptoms including vomiting and diarrhea, according to health officials. The virus is known for spreading rapidly in close-contact environments such as cruise ships, where shared dining spaces and frequently touched surfaces can make containment difficult once an outbreak begins.
What, were people not buying the hantavirus one?
Hantacruises are rare, you gotta buy your tickets way in advanceand they’re kinda pricey. Norocruise is like the Southwest of the seas, you just cram in with humanity and hope you don’t die.
Norovirus is normal, it went thru my boot camp division. Its just the normal “cruise ship flu” that always happens and sucks.
Hantavirus is not normal, especially the Andres variant that was on that other cruise ship.
That fucker has like 40% lethality and while transmission window is short, just walking withing 4 feet of someone whose not even exhibiting systems is enough to infect.
I can’t remember the incubation time for sure, but I think liken4-6 weeks?
And you just fucking know when the Americans from that ship come back, they’re not going to have to do quarantine or anything.
Have you even looked into it?
Or are you wanting for Lil Bobby Kennedy to put the raccoon penis down and investigate?
This isn’t “nothing” and honeyits weird more people aren’t freaking out.
Is little Bobby Kennedy in the room with us right now?
Non-story. Norovirus happens all the time, especially on cruise ships. This is a case of the public being highly sensitive to news stories that are relevant in the current zeitgeist. Happens all the time with airplane incidents.
The virus is usually spread by the fecal–oral route.[3] This may be through contaminated food or water or person-to-person contact. But it’s still F-ing gross
Its a non story until they decide its not. Covid was a non story for several months too.
Who is “they”?
The epstein class. You know, the same people who decided covid was an existential threat to humanity requiring lockdowns, experimental gene therapy injections and the largest transfer of wealth in human history(transfered to them unsurprisingly).
The COVID-19 vaccine was one of the most remarkable achievements in human history and, ironically due to your ignorance, is the only vaccine in history that does NOT change DNA. We’re now finding it works to unleash the immune system against cancer, giving 50% increased treatment effect and survival.
Yea, it was SO remarkable that they tried to hide the data on it for 75 years. Really SCREAMS remarkable. And wow, I didn’t realize reverse transcription of mRNA simply didn’t exist. Thats crazy.
It certainly did “unleash” the immune system when it comes to cancer tho, as we saw with all of those doctors coming forward discussing the explosion of “Turbo cancer” they were seeing amongst their “vaccinated” patients.
Remember when it first came out and they said it was 100% effective…and then it was 99%…98%…
The only vaccine SO effective it stops transmission and infection right?
Oh no wait…it doesn’t do either of those. It “reduces symptoms”…because THATS what a vaccine is supposed to do…right? Thats how vaccines work?
Turbo cancer
LMAO who comes up with this shit? It sounds just so ridiculous. I looked up the term and found this: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10622962/
In the months following publication, we noticed that our case report has gained significant public attention, particularly on social media platforms. More specifically, our case report has been largely misinterpreted and used as a study providing evidence that mRNA COVID-19 vaccination can trigger a phenomenon which has non-scientifically been referred to as “turbo cancer”. First of all, we wish to unequivocally disassociate ourselves from this term. In our case report, there is not a single reference to a condition called “turbo cancer”, nor do we recognize it as a legitimate medical term.
So yeah, if you could please “do your own research” with a simple search that took 5 seconds, you could save yourself a lot of stress and anxiety. Feel free to read the rest of the text to see that no link was established between the vaccine and “turbo cancer” (I’m laughing just typing that out).
You’re ignorant as shit and proud of it. What a pathetic life.
The only thing “remarkable” about MAGA jabs is how many morons volunteered to take the experimental gene therapy injection thay was rushed through all its safety trials because they got a “free donut”.
You’re ignorant as shit and proud of it. What a miserable existence.
Wow, there’s still a few of you left. I had thought you were all clustered down by the bayou or had died from your own abject stupidity. Won’t be long before your delusions take care of it anyway.
Man, I don’t care how convenient of a vacation is, but it’s too damn gross. A fucking cesspool of filth and bacteria out on the water…the worst of the worst.
You couldn’t pay me enough to go to Florida.
FEAR! FEAR THE DRIZZLY SHITS! OOOOGA BOOGA BOOOOOGA
I got noro when I was around 20 from food at a family gathering. I ended up in hospital on fluids because I could not drink anything and was vomiting at least once an hour and had diarrhea several times a day. I was so weak I could hardly move.
I’ve had it three times that I know of. Once after a canoe trip, everyone in our car got it but the other car didn’t, so I think it was wherever we had stopped for lunch. Second time it came home from daycare. Both times it was fast but violent, with intense nausea, emesis, and diarrhea. The third time we got it from a company party where over 100 people got sick. I didn’t think it was norovirus because it wasn’t like those first 2 bouts, my wife had some nausea and diarrhea while I pretty much just had overwhelming fatigue. Only know it was norovirus because I submitted a sample to a state lab due to the number sickened
Yes, it’s shit (in both ways and we’ve also had it) but hardly newsworthy in the way it is now. I don’t think the world was informed when our kindergarten was affected ant it was easily 100 people in scope at least.
Literally anyone with contact to any related person got infected.
Literally anyone with contact to any related person got infected.
if people don’t wash their hands.
You don’t know noro, do you?
I get it and I agree blaming much on people with unclean habits. However with noro you do not stand a chance.
Norovirus is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. This is when food workers do not wash shit off their hands and they handle food.
Yes, you do stand a good chance if people wash their fucking hands after taking a shit but no one does that. They sprinkle a little water, at best.
It’s literally like an annual event in kindergartens too. Ours had it pretty bad this winter, some kids were hospitalized.
I’ve been working on cruise ships since 2004, it happens very frequently (personally I’ve never caught this virus) . On board ships, especially on cruise ships, there are strict protocols for this virus, because it is highly transmissible.
The thing that has always made me smile is when you go to the crew mess 🫕 near the sinks there are signs on how to wash your hands with photos, and wash your hands for at least 20 seconds.
If a crew member has symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea, the first thing to do is to isolate yourself by going to your cabin and notify the doctor . This virus is taken very seriously on board ships
I worked for NCL on the Pride of America when I was 19 and out of all the things taught in training and shit, dealing with illnesses never came up and half the crew was sick with something every day I was on the ship. 😕
I worked on ships for almost 20 years and never got norovirus. Was onboard for a few outbreaks though…not a fun time. I remember basically walking around with a spraybottle of cleaner, spraying everything i touched.
Saw a few fellow crew members get it…man, what an awful experience. Quite the diet though, haha.
I had it once, not on a cruise ship, and that may have been the worst 24 hours I’ve ever had. One end of me was on the toilet and the other was in the tub.
norovirus is synonymous with cruise ships, and now covid.
Serving food with shit in it is synonymous with cruise ships. Norovirus is fecal-oral route.
