In this episode, we delve into the gritty details of the stomach flu, focusing on the notorious Norovirus (stomach bug). Once overshadowed by Rotavirus, Norovirus now leads the charge in causing widespread acute gastroenteritis across all ages. We'll explore its symptoms, transmission, and why it thrives in closed environments like schools and cruise ships. Discover the surprising resilience of this virus, how it spreads with ease, and the ongoing clinical trials striving to develop a vaccine. Tune in to understand the battle against this stubborn bug and the efforts to protect vulnerable populations from its reach.
