Over 2 million people have currently caught it this winter, and it is predicted 200,000 people a week will carry on catching it when children go back to school. Sounds horrible, the 'Vomiting virus''. Its proper name is 'norovirus'.

[L!nK..]

I can't remember the last time i vomited, infact I think it waswhen i was in primary school, but now im in college so yeah long time.

I wont get it, im actually very rarely ill for some reason. I think I must have a half decent immune system

Diarrhoea and sickness. Lovely. Hope I don't get it.

[Frodo13.]

I have stomach problems anyway so Im dreadful when I catch these things. I hope I dont catch it anyway, I've got exams this week and next week.

Few days off school if you catch it, sure you'd feel horrible.

Yeah you're not suppost to do anything but sleep if you have it. They tell you to stay in your house and don't bother going to the hospital or doctors.

[GommeInc]

I should be safe from it. Although I don't have an immune system, my artificial immune system (from tablets) does actually prevent illnesses like this. The only thing I really get is a cold and maybe headaches, but a headache isn't something you really catch :P

I'd rather be at school tbh

[Kenneth]

[Grig]

[lew!]

His name is david BATTY
hahahahaha (Immature) lol.

I havnt been ill in ages.. Or faked being ill in ages lol

[MattyBoy]

I had this, its nasty. I kept vomiting like 6 times a day (holded the rest some h0w) I wouldnt even eat a mcdonalds burger.

[Slowpoke]

It said on the news you should take at least four days off. 48ish hours whilst you have it and then another 48ish hours to let it clear your system; it's that catchy! I think I might be starting to get it as I type this. I was sick about 40 minutes ago and have felt off all day.

[TheGayOne]

Luckily i havent caught this, but a friend of mine has, he's had it few like 5-6 days now, poor guy

What county/area is that? I'm not sure what my brothers college is like, Essex may not have the illness.

[Frodo13.]

Not really many absences at my school - only can think of 2 who I know are ill.
