V208 US issues Official World Wide Alert for the Super Bowl Norovirus, Katrina Virus & Ray Nagin
Today the United States placed Governments, Health Agencies and International Humanitarian Organizations, such as the Red Cross, on World Wide Alert for a Pandemic.
The Pandemic will include the following or some type of mutation: Sydney Norovirus, Super Bowl Norovirus, The Katrina Virus, Mardi Gras Norovirus, New Orleans Norovirus, all types of the Flu viruses and the Super Virus - Lent.
Norovirus, Influenza Spreading Across U.S. Posted January 31, 2013
As if the flu weren't bad enough, now a nasty norovirus is also spreading across the country bringing sufferers symptoms such as stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea. The American Red Cross has steps people can follow to protect themselves from the virus.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), a new strain of norovirus is the leading cause of outbreaks in the United States and the agency will be watching the situation closely. The norovirus is more contagious than the flu and can survive and remain on hard surfaces for weeks. Symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain and in some cases fever, headache and body aches.
WASH YOUR HANDS "One of the easiest steps you can take to keep yourself and loved ones healthy is to wash your hands properly, especially after using the bathroom or when preparing food," said Jeffrey Pellegrino, PhD, EMT-B, member of American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council. "For visibly soiled hands, first wash with soap and warm water."
Wash everything from fruits and vegetables to any contaminated surfaces including clothes. Norovirus stays on surfaces so use a bleach-based household cleaner to clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces. Follow the product directions on the label. Another step is to wash and machine dry any soiled laundry, either wearing gloves to handle the items or washing your hands after doing so.
CALL THE DOCTOR If you think you have the flu, consult your health-care provider. Ask to know if an antiviral may be appropriate for those who live with you. Seek medical care immediately if you develop any of the following symptoms:
•Fast breathing, trouble breathing or bluish skin color.
•Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen (adults).
•Confusion or sudden dizziness.
•Not drinking enough fluids, not being able to eat, or severe or persistent vomiting.
•Flu-like symptoms that improve but then return with fever and worse cough.
•Not waking up, being so irritable that the child does not want to be held or not interacting (children).
•Fever with a rash (children).
•No tears when crying or significantly fewer wet diapers than normal (children).

Rest, patience only way to battle norovirus

Even the flu shot can't protect you from a new nasty gastrointestinal virus that's hitting Indiana.
The norovirus can far outlast most other bugs in its ability to pass on to others long after sick people feel better.
The fever, the feeling and the funk has those who have had the norovirus say they were "almost delirious," sweating, and vomiting. College student Matthew Richter took pictures to prove it. He was one of thousands around the country likely hit by a new norovirus first seen last year in Australia.
It is just one of several illnesses making their way around - and the flu shot can't protect you from catching it.
"It spreads very easily. Some of the problems are you can start spreading it even before you know you are sick and spread it a week or so, even after the illness resolves," said Dr. Robert Blankenship at St. Vincent Hospital in Fishers.
The virus can reportedly survive on some surfaces up to two weeks. An hand sanitizer may do little to help.
Blankenship says wash your hands for about 30 seconds, that's about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday one-and-a-half times. Also, wash dishes in the dishwasher. You need water good and hot to kill the virus on plates and utensils.
"If you are doing laundry of someone who has had it and you don't get the water temperature hot enough, then you can get it," Blankenship said. "Even flushing the toilet, particles can come up and infect you. It only takes 16 of these viral particles to get sick which is a very minute amount."
Richter said he was eventually able to get over the virus.
"Finally, I was able to start eating crackers and tried to keep fluids in me. Nothing really seemed to help. I just had to work through it. Making a lot of calls home definitely to ask my parents what to do," he said.
Doctors say the "BRAT" diet - bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast - can help you best recover from a bout with norovirus.

Parents take precautions
There is no break in this severe flu season. Just when it looks as if the worst of the influenza outbreak is behind us, kids, parents and grandparents are getting hit with the "stomach flu" - better known as norovirus.
If you haven't had it yet, there is a good chance you know someone who has and you should know how not to get it.
Eyewitness News caught up with Jean Crane at the Children's Museum. Her kids are finally healthy. Everyone's been sick twice. She calls it the worst winter ever.
"Fever, missing school, throwing up. Since I have four kids, they would get it in succession," she said with a sigh.
The emergency room at St. Francis Health is crowded with patients suffering from vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and other typical symptoms and side effects of the latest norovirus.
Like the common cold, the only cure is time, and the body's own immune system. We had to hunt for an empty treatment room to speak with Dr Howard Levitian.
"For some people coming in here sick or dehydrated, we're giving them fluids. We are giving them medicine to stop the vomiting and make them feel better," he said.
The Centers for Disease Control says this new strain of virus is extremely contagious and there's no vaccine. The best protection is every mother's advice.
"Wash your hands. Wash your hands as much as you can," Dr. Levitian explained. "The physical act of washing your hands reduces the amount of the viral count, the amount of virus on your hands."
It's all about that viral count. The typical norovirus, according to the CDC, needs 41 microscopic particles to make you sick. But this strain is so powerful it needs less than half, only 18 invisible specks of the virus to make you miserable and feeling wiped out.
Since the virus sickened her two small children, then the entire family, Amber Siebert and her mom have become hand washing fanatics.
"Hand sanitizers, Clorox wipes more often. You think twice when you are touching stuff when you are out," said Tina Pinkston.
Hospitals and other public buildings are sanitizing everything people touch. The Children's Museum cleans handrails, elevator buttons and other surfaces during the day and all the toys at night, making the next day safer and more for kids and less scary for parents.
