The name of the disease creeping across America is bad enough, but what makes the “winter vomiting disease” much like a malevolent holiday Grinch is that its numbers are creeping upwards.
Officially, a norovirus is to blame for the illness, posing a particular threat to immunocompromised individuals, older citizens, and small children, according to Axios.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that on the week of Nov. 15, the most recent data available, about 14 percent of samples tested were positive for the virus, as opposed to 7 percent three months ago.
December 2024 saw test positivity – the only measure of norovirus available — hit almost 25 percent.
When will the vaccine for this new “Winter Vomiting Disease” be available? I want me and my whole family to be immunized as soon as possible.
Yeah, right!
You better rush right out and get a vaccine for it!!!!!!!
