Maybe I'm Really Typhoid Mary

[bcholmes]

Three weeks ago, I went to JavaOne in San Francisco. Many, many people came down with Norovirus.

This weekend at WisCon, many people came down with a stomach flu, but recent posts have been suggesting Norovirus.

Maybe I should stop going to cons.

Well, you know, you could actually choose to use your powers for good.....by attending gatherings of people who deserve to get Norovirus :-)

But I think you need a better superhero name....

Anyway, good to see you in Madison as always!

New superhero name=Infecta

I was wondering if it might somehow be related.

I didn't get it this time, though! Ha! Makes me feel better about not going to the con. (One of these days...)

You could become the Hand Sanitizer Fairy, spreading knowledge and hygiene everywhere you go.

Good to hear you haven't come down with it yet.

spikeiowa blamed the hugging. A few minutes later, a roving band of young hippies came walking down State Street waving signs: "Free hugs!"

re: Typhoid BC
Nooooo! Come back, please.

I was wondering if it was the same thing. Is Norovirus a single entity or a group of entities?

Anyway, it's good to know that there's someone to blame.

A group of entities -- the Norwalk viruses. And this one hit some of us really hard.

OT: what email address should I send the PDF of Unwelcome Bodies to? Let me know eh? Thanks!

Did you ever send this? Did I miss it?

[deepforestowl.livejournal.com]

I did send it quite awhile ago, but apparently the internets ate it. I have just resent it and crossed my fingers. Please let me know if you get it!
