Re: Has any of the other regional events have a sickness like at the VCU??

There is easily a possibility what happened at VCU could happen at your Regional. Norovirus is still going strong in the state of VA. Two of my co-workers are out with it, and another one just came back today after the majority of guests at her daughter's wedding this past weekend were stricken with it... and now most of these people, some of them still sick, are taking planes back to their homes...

So wash your hands a lot and drink lots of fluids, water especially, and keep yourself hydrated (this could send you to the bathroom more often, but that is good because it will make you wash your hands more often, at least you should, and if not, shame on you!) Most people who end up in the hospital because of this end up there because of dehydration, and because of soda, a lot of people already tend to lean towards being dehydrated anyhow... Do not rely solely on hand sanitizer, it's good in a pinch, but could be worse in the long run... soap and water is best...

Most likely nothing will happen, but isn't there a saying about an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure?
