we have to gown up, masks & gloves is all to prevent catching it as well as passing it around.. the nursing home has been closed since before xmas though so they couldnt have xmas dinner with their families which was sad.. and its been almost 4 weeks now and so they're stir crazy poor souls.. i feel for them and soo hate seeing them get so sickies..

we were supposed to open the nursing home finally today, and then we got 2 more confirmed norwalk viruses in another ward just yesterday, so it will probably remain closed for a bit longer.. bah

Are you a nurse or a nurse's aid?? I know the stomach flu gastroenteritis is bad especially in the older population!! I hope you don't catch it though, I'm glad your Nanny isn't in there too!! hope everyone gets to feel better soon...
