Rotavirus cases rising in the U.S.Life-threatening virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea at high levels in the U.S., CDC says

You are lucky your baby didn’t get too sick. My son was hospitalized at 11 months. They had a hard time getting his IV in (super scary as a mom). Also, it is one of the top killers of children under 5 in poor countries.

That was probably norovirus. Norovirus and rotavirus have very similar symptoms… but rotavirus lasts *up to a week* instead of 1-3 days. It mostly impacts children because adults build a pretty decent immunity to it. And the reason it can be deadly is because of how long it lasts.

It's a good thing my bathtub is close to my toilet because I would fire out of both ends at times... It was awful.

If it passed quickly, it was norovirus. That’s pretty much the best way to tell. Norovirus lasts 0-3 days. Rotavirus lasts 3-8 days, and you’ll still feel like shit for a few after.

The world you know has turned into a "work or lose everything" dumpster fire. Most other civilized countries have health  care and sick leave but not the US, what a joke that isn't a joke. 

I'm a microbiologist and everyone always wants to know what my greatest fears are pertaining to my field. In general? Antibiotic resistance and reduced public health measures/pandemic preparedness. Day to day? Norovirus 😭🤣

> Most adults are immune I am after first child had it ( and gave it to EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY ). Dr. offered the vaccine when 2nd child came about --- we told him we absolutely wanted that. Didn't even want to deal with even just our 2nd kid having it.

We don’t do boosters for it because it causes intussusception if older than 8 months.

If that’s not up your alley, how about a raccoon p****?

That was just normal day to day kinda stuff?? What the actual fk fk is going on?

Wait what was their goal?

The eugenics arguments are deeply embedded in the ruling class and have carried over from discredited 19th century ideas that came before them. Wealthy people have to keep inventing new reasons to rationalize why they keep stealing the future.

>What superior genes are there in a guy who looks like deep fried shoe leather and speaks the way he does? Apparently the genes required to survive heroin overdoses and not develop aggressive cancers from blasting and cruising on "TRT" in amounts that are clearly in performance enhancement territory for years at a time as he also abuses the f*** out of HGH.

>The eugenicists are also behind the push for AI Yup, and they haven't exactly been quiet about it. What is kind of amusing and infuriating is that these pasty, skinny fat men think they're genetic perfection despite the fact all of their success can be attributed to being popped out of their mother or surrogate's birth canal 5 nanometers away from the homeplate and being handed opportunities that others spend a lifetime trying to earn. What's even more amusing is that nearly all of them, being the Ubermensch they are, have had some form of not great plastic surgery to fix some obvious physical shortcoming and about half of them are on some form of hormone replacement but seem to be getting exactly 0 out of it. Either they're not putting in the time, their diet isn't on point, or their bodies straight up do not have the requisite number of receptors or receptor sensitivity to make the PEDs anything other than cancer causing placebos burning their candle on both ends. Musk looks like a goblin shark, the Ellisons look like extras from "Repo! The generic opera", Thiel looks like he can hear electromagnetic chatter from space when his bug eyes aren't trying to consume the souls of children, Zuckerberg looks less alive than his wax mannequins, Altman could probably get mugged by a 5th grader, and Curtis Yarvin looks like a homeless man with a $1000 heroin habit but a $2 crackhead budget.

Sadly no vaccine for norovirus. Unless you are a kid you probably didn't have a rotavirus vaccine - the first safe and effective one was released in about 2008.

I had norovirus 2-3 years ago and I would rather go through another shoulder surgery than that again. I went from 285 to 250 in 3 days. Absolutely 0 food intake for 3 days and maybe had 2 cups of water a day for 3 days. Even a SINGULAR SIP of water was all it took for me to be back on the toilet after approximately 90 seconds... Day 4 was when I was finally able to start holding the majority of my liquids down.

I work in a furniture store and someone pissed in a display trashcan. And that’s just one example of the decrepit things people have done.

When I worked retail near a military base the soldiers would come in and spit out their chewing tobacco into the coffee mugs we sold.

At the start of the pandemic, I was on the bus home and a bloke opened a full rotisserie chicken and proceeded to eat with his hands until his stop. Then he licked each finger individually, just sucking on them like teets...And then f****** touched every railing on the way down the bus.

Based on your profile pic, you’ve been forced to see a lot of videos, eh?
