I don't. Normally it's a winter disease, but normally it's much lower in the number of cases. Pure data is hard to come by because most people are sick at home, and thus don't get tracked. So, we're left with wastewater -- and those data are collected by the states -- and I can't find a solid source of national norovirus data. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. STAY HEALTHY!
It kills more people annually than any other intestinal infection. It also sickens more people. In addition, e coli and salmonella require ingestion of an infected food. Norovirus can be caught from another person since it lives on surfaces.
Thanks for the free prescriptions Doc Jess. Fortunately, our relatively crowded senior living community has not as yet had any contact with the infection.
Any idea when it may peak?

Totally understandable! Thank you! Obviously just trying to avoid it!
How does norovirus seem different than encounters with bacteria e. coli or salmonella in the sick feeling?

Your place is awesome and keeping infections down, as they were during Covid.
