Warning: Stomach Virus From Hell Leaving Many Very Ill

One of the worst stomach viruses to hit this winter is beginning its rounds. Symptoms are so severe that you could mistake it for the flu or food poisoning. Onset is pretty sudden. Friends have reported others who have been hospitalized. If the elderly catch this, it is probably a good idea for a trip to the ER and possibly hospitalization. You should not be alone if you catch this, it definitely won't have run through your system in two days, and causes extreme exhaustion. I am on day four of this virus and am still pretty much unable to get out of bed except for very short periods of time, but that is a definite improvement over almost not at all.
