You think it's the stomach flu?
You get hit with diarrhea, it lasts a few days, vomiting, fever... if you get dehydrated, you're looking at an IV drip and a strict diet. I actually caught it last week at the local clinic—I was there with my baby, and now she’s come down with it too, though hers seems to be lingering a bit longer since she picked it up right there at the hospital.
It’s not exactly life-threatening, but man, let me tell you, it is absolutely miserable.

I haven't the slightest clue. I picked it up at the hospital, along with a friend who was there with me. Meanwhile, nobody else in my house even caught it, though I spent my entire sixteenth year throwing up constantly. It was miserable.
And weren't they supposed to mention that this virus goes by Norovirus or Norwalk...? Whatever.
Honestly, don't worry about it; it's not like you're catching bird flu. 😁

With filthy hands—probably from some stranger's restroom where they clearly skipped the soap—and boom, there you have it.

So, just contact. It's actually pretty great🤣
And there isn't a cure, just plenty of fluids and bed rest..😵 and just powering through it
