England is experiencing an unseasonable rise in winter vomiting virus, officials are warning.

Public Health England (PHE) says 154 norovirus outbreaks have been reported in the last five weeks, compared to an average of 53 over the same time period in the previous five years.

Most have been in educational settings, particularly in nurseries.

But cases are returning to pre-pandemic levels across all age groups and settings and people should be on alert.

Symptoms include sudden, projectile vomiting and diarrhoea.

It is very contagious - people sick with it can shed billions of norovirus particles. It only takes a few of these virus particles to infect others.

It will be those masks stopping our immune systems building up.

It’s a “stock photo” that’s been used for the article Parmy, the person in the picture isn’t being sick at all.

It’s been around here for weeks now, actually seems to be dying down a bit now.

No end of people I know have had it in the past month or so here. Horrible.

My sister's friend was (maybe still is, I dunno) a "stock photo model", and everyone roasted her because a picture of her drinking chamomile tea was used for an article about the benefits of drinking ones own urine :joker:

Why. we don’t normally get details of the winter vomiting bug that happens ever winter :facepalm: you can’t catch it by standing next to someone. you have to be in very close contact, ..wash your hands and any raw fruit and veg you will be fine
