The commentary was a bit incomplete, missing four significant points. 1. Norovirus is also spread through the air, so that any gathering of people, however clean the cooks' hands, is subject to an outbreak. All a person needs to do is walk through a droplet cloud left after someone just vomited, and s/he can become the next victim, e.g., in a restroom. No food handling needed. 2. Colleges and universities are an increasingly important outbreak venue about which very little has been heard in previous years. 3. Foodworkers are even more significant sources than previously thought just a few years ago because, while most return to work as soon as symptoms stop and they feel better, they can continue to spread virus particles for up to 72 hours after vomiting stops. After all, for most workers in the private sector the reality is: no work, no pay. 4. Immunity following an attack is short-lived, in most cases only 6 months or so. Thus, a constantly renewing reservoir of new victims waiting to be infected is continually being created. Charles Easterberg, Lecturer University of Washington
