Norovirus Outbreak 😷

So Noro has hit my facility and it’s an absolute nightmare. It’s spreading like wildfire, one room to the next, non stop, hitting staff, so people are just getting sicker and sicker, we have had multiple hospitalized and one pass, and we are getting shorter and shorter staffed. It’s an absolute nightmare. I am terrified to catch it because I have severe emetophobia, but I think I already have it because it’s been over 24 hours of diarrhea for me but thankfully no vomiting. But then again, I have been too scared to eat.

It’s been so terrible seeing my residents suffer like this, not able to do anything about it. It’s such a disaster, I just want this to be over. 😭

Anyone else dealing with this at their facility? How long did it last, is there any hope?
