That this is not the "epidemic" that the media have decided to turn it into. This wave of Norovirus happens every year in Britain.

Yes, Norovirus will leave you feeling like a wrung dishcloth, but it's hardly fatal unless you are in one of the two groups I mentioned. Even then, you should be fine so long as you are treated properly.

The other point was just to clear up the difference between Norovirus & flu.

I never said anything about going to work if you had any illness.
