Norovirus is actually quite a clever virus.
It has no intention of killing its parasitic host, merely use it as a vehicle for getting to the next one.
From what I gather, you could stand to go on the noro-diet, so suck it up.

Oh, yeah, sorry.
They will, I meant they all exist as parasitic vehicles to move from one host to the other. Actually, none of them give a shit whether they kill you or not. But some (ebola springs to mind) aren't quite as "good" because they tend to kill you before they can spread.

Although, drop a good dose of Ebola in central London and that might not quite be so true

Ebola does like to go out in a blaze of glory though
to try and maximise its range of infection...

Wasnt there some experiment with monkeys with an infected one at one end of a 30ft room and healthy at the other and with days it had mooched across the open and clean space.

Then of course it was explody time...
