Scary stuff - with a 100 reported cases to UHS, it’s felt likely that a multiple more are truly ill. My son lives in West Quad; has me nervous.
Just tell him not to eat at SQ.
All my friends who got sick had eaten there. None of my friends living on North have gotten the virus 
It’s terrible and getting worse. University is not acting quickly enough to stem the outbreak. Kids are vomiting all over campus. You can get it anywhere, not just south quad. It seems to have started there, but you get it by touching a surface that has been touched by an infected person.
I am not familiar with the virus. Is it dangerous, or just unpleasant? Is vomiting the only symptom? How it is transmitted? How contagious is it? Is Michigan now taking the necessary precautions or is it still not acting?
It’s highly contagious and it’s worse because ppl always think they have “food poisoning” and don’t think they are contagious. Confusing because it can be spread via food, not because the food has “gone bad,” rather the food is contaminated.
Mostly vomiting and diarrhea. Sometimes called the 24 hour flu, it comes on suddenly and is usually gone in a day or 2. Not related to actual inflenza. Sometimes brings down entire cruise ships.
My freshman dorm – couldn’t happen to a nicer place. 
It is nasty for a couple of days, but mostly should be just an inconvenience for those who get it.
No need to be scared. if symptoms is controlled, it is not lethal. However, the timing is bad as it is the time for mid-term exam. Now the dinning hall stopped self service on fruit and salad to prevent contamination.
Proper hand washing helps a lot.
It went through my family a couple of years ago. The strain got weaker after the first 2 of us got it. Vomiting and diarrhea are the primary symptoms. It could be very bad. I lost 8 pounds in 24 hours and was very weak when I had it.
Living on north campus is finally a good thing Don’t know a single person who has gotten Noro
I have to weigh in here. The university has done a terrible job at surveillance, containment, and communication. Since this outbreak started, the University Health Service has sent just ONE email to the campus community. IMO, they should be sending one communication DAILY to inform the community about the progress in containing the virus and to remind students on preventive measures.
As for containment, their efforts have been completely inadequate. The one email that UHS sent said this:
That is ridiculous advice. Students in dorms do not have private bathrooms, and the bathrooms are the main sources of contagion. Furthermore, many students can’t even make it to the bathroom before vomiting all over the hallway—to get into the bathroom, you have to SWIPE you M-Card AND enter a four-digit code on the keypad. Symptomatic students need to be asked to voluntarily isolate in a healthcare setting. Students who presented with symptoms at the ER were sent back to their dorms. The outbreak will take months to resolve if they keep doing this.
Finally, I am outraged that the university reports that there are 100-125 known cases. That is just the number who have sought treatment at the ER. According to the CDC, only 10% of people infected with norovirus seek medical treatment. Accordingly, we can estimate that well over 1,000 students have been affected.
The university president is an MD-MPH. You’d think it would be handled better. Just sayin’.
I’d be interested/frightened to see what a swab of those bathroom keypads grew in a Petri dish.
