There is indeed a surprisingly robust science of disease spread on cruise ships — in particular, from norovirus, the highly contagious bug spread by ingesting the stool or vomit of an infected person, often through food or touching a contaminated surface.
|
|
Cruise ship passengers have previously been quarantined to their cabins during outbreaks of norovirus, and ships have been turned away from docking at certain ports, but quarantining an entire ship of people (and for two full weeks) is historically unprecedented.

That's why norovirus outbreaks have caused an elementary school in Seattle and 40 schools in Colorado to close briefly in recent weeks — officials wanted to stop the spread, and keeping sick kids away from each other and the building can help.

"We don't really talk much about norovirus, an extremely contagious bug spread by — prepare yourself — ingesting the stool or vomit of an infected person, often through food or touching a contaminated surface," my colleague Julia Belluz reported earlier this year.

"Temporary accommodations are being overwhelmed by overcrowding and disease," Frances Stead Sellers, Scott Wilson and Tim Craig wrote on Monday in the Post, noting that more than 120 people have contracted what appears to be a highly contagious infection known as norovirus.

Redway and his co-author Patrick Kimmitt asked study participants to dip their gloved hands into a liquid containing high levels of MS2 — approximately the viral load that might be observed in the feces of a person suffering from an acute norovirus (or "stomach bug") infection.

It has been shown to kill a long list of microbes, including norovirus, MRSA, a staph bacteria that has become resistant to antibiotics, virulent strains of E. coli that cause food-borne illness, and coronaviruses—possibly including the novel strain currently causing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chipotle food scares last year include two E.coli outbreaks linked to its restaurants that sickened more than 50 people in 10 states, as well as separate outbreaks of norovirus, a highly contagious virus known as the "winter vomiting bug", in Massachusetts and California that involved more than 350 diners.

Other times, I careen into crisis, the consequence of a hair-trigger immune system: the loss of more than a third of my body weight; the persistent infection that took seven rounds of antibiotics to clear; the bout of norovirus so severe my husband had to carry me into the emergency room.

CLEVELAND — The Trump campaign has made nearly a half a dozen excuses for why Melania Trump sounded awfully like Michelle Obama last night, but one excuse has spread among the delegates in the Quicken Loans Arena like norovirus in the California delegation: Whatever you might think, Michelle Obama did not invent the English language.

Norovirus typically spreads by the fecal-oral route, Wormley says, which means people contract the virus from consuming food or beverages contaminated with fecal matter, or from touching their hands to their mouth after coming into contact with a contaminated surface (the bathroom sink, counter, doorknobs) or while cleaning up after a sick person.

Although a lengthy discussion of cheese dip may seem out of place on an investor conference, Chipotle is hoping that queso will help it pull out of a sales dip triggered by a series of food-borne illnesses in 2015 and exacerbated by a norovirus outbreak in a Virginia store last week that sickened more than 135 people.
|
|
For example, while an attack of Staphylococcus aureus typically occurs in two to four hours after consuming a contaminated food, it can take as long as two days for a norovirus or Yersinia infection to cause misery, and E. coli O157:H7 can take up to 10 days before it results in bloody diarrhea and possible kidney failure.
|
|
"It is anywhere from 12 to 48 hours, so as long as those people who maybe shared a room or bathroom with someone diagnosed with norovirus can be quarantined for 48 hours and watched to make sure that they don't develop any symptoms, that is a way to try and prevent the spread to other people," she said.
|
|
"While norovirus at a single location is not overly significant on the surface, we believe there is greater uncertainty now as there is a reasonable probability that media coverage will outweigh the severity of the incident and create renewed same-store sales weakness, expanding downside risk within our framework," BMO Capital Markets' Andrew Strelzik wrote in a note to clients Wednesday.
|
|
"When it comes to germs that make people sick, the most common ones that have previously caused outbreaks at pools are bacteria like E. coli, including the very nasty E. coli O157:H7, which can cause bloody diarrhea and even kidney failure, Shigella and Salmonella, both 'cousins' of E. coli, viruses like norovirus and Hepatitis A, and parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium," Smith said.
|
|
But an outbreak in Maine this month has brought to light another way this "stomach bug" can be passed from person to person: Scientists at the state's Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say that nearly 100 people became sick with norovirus after they visited a beach and swam in a lake in the town of Bridgton or had contact with others who had done so.
