Norovirus outbreak continues at Santa Monica School

This article describes a current norovirus outbreak at a number of Santa Monica schools. The norovirus outbreak began after students went on a class trip to Yosemite - this really surprised me, as I would not have expected yosemite to be a location that had particularly high noroviral transmission. 
While the trip to yosemite occurred in late January when ~200 seventh graders went to Yosemite, students are continuing to contact the virus - in fact, there were 22 kids that contacted it last week at Santa Monica high school! Schools have been closed a number of days to try and stop the outbreak, but it stil has not wored.
This situation demonstrates to me simply HOW contagious neurovirus is, and how hard it is to control, even if public heath officials are working very hard to prevent transmission. Furthermore, it’s hard to control as kids that appear healthy after feeling sick might still be contagious.
Luckily the situation is improving, as the number of infected children are dwindling, but nonetheless, the situation is still difficult for children, teachers, and familmies.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
