yosh (yosh@toot.yosh.is)'s status on Tuesday, 02-Apr-2024 10:23:13 JST yosh 48hrs later: partner is also exhibiting norovirus symptoms. Arguably worse than mine. Despite our best efforts not to, they almost certainly caught it from me.
Hand washing and disinfecting surfaces may not do much to prevent the spread of Covid; it certainly does help prevent the spread of contact diseases like norovirus. It’s on a very different scale though (a bad day or so, vs potentially bad rest of your life). But would still not recommend getting.

yosh (yosh@toot.yosh.is)'s status on Tuesday, 02-Apr-2024 10:23:15 JST yosh on my list of things not to do again: no more buffets of any kind, ty.
I believe I can largely trust service workers to apply proper hygiene standards. Placing that same trust into random adults and their children was probably not the best decision making on my part.
Anyway: live, learn.

yosh (yosh@toot.yosh.is)'s status on Tuesday, 02-Apr-2024 10:23:16 JST yosh most likely vector by which I caught it: breakfast buffet. while I’ve taken every precaution not to catch Covid (and to my knowledge: I haven’t), I did get my food from the communal food line for two days in a row now.
Incubation time is 12-48hrs, so the timing would check out too.

yosh (yosh@toot.yosh.is)'s status on Tuesday, 02-Apr-2024 10:23:17 JST yosh caught what is likely to be a norovirus abroad - happy I prepared for this eventuality and packed dissolvable electrolyte tablets - so at least I won’t be dehydrated
