Norovirus info

[pixietrixie]

Ok so today I walked past a hospital and I believe a man was vomiting into a bin. Cant be sure but he had his head over it and his friend was standing with him talking to him. There was no noise and he seemed calm. But as I walked passed I was so scared he could have noro and panicked.

I just wanted to know if I could catch it when it was partially contained and there was a whole road and pavement between us?

Please help
Thanks x

It could have been for any number of things, pixietrixie. I actually had to google norovirus so I definitely wouldn't have considered it as a reason. Being in front of a hospital, it could have been due to many things: maybe he had a migraine, maybe he had a painful injury, maybe he was extremely hungover, maybe he is undergoing a treatment that induces vomiting, maybe he had food poisoning. There are more options that are not contagious than norovirus. He may have just dropped hig phone into the bin accidentally. And even if it was norovirus, if there was a WHOLE road and pavement between you then I highly doubt you'd even be able to catch it.
