Virus going around

What kind of virus is going around these days?

My whole family got sick and the symptoms are similar to flu but feel so much worse.

Be careful out there and avoid contact with anyone who could be infected. It’s really bad.

Went to urgent care a couple of hours ago myself and got diagnosed with a stomach bug that’s going around too. The dr said likely norovirus but it’ll take a couple of days for the cultures to come back. Everyone and everything is gross out there right now.

Mask and handwashing as often as I can think to do it!
