Students vomiting all over South and West Quad. Amazingly, alcohol not involved

Submitted by The Mad Hatter on

Apparently there's a norovirus outbreak going on in South Quad and West Quad.  The source of the outbreak is unknown.  

So unless it's absolutely necessary, stay the hell out of there.  Norovirus ranks pretty high on the "things that make you feel like you're dying" list.

Really sorry to hear this. It's never a good thing when you're vomiting out one end and shitting out the other at the same time, uncontrollably. Thoughts and prayers.

I had it once. My only saving grace was that the bathroom sink was close enough to the toilet that I could vomit while I shat. Regardless, I still shat my pants more than once. That experience, by the way was how I knew my wife was a keeper. A, because she has different gut flora than I and never got it, and B, because she cleaned my vomit off the floor without a single complaint. That's love, my friends.

Granted, this was decades ago, but the food in South Quad was shit in 1979-1980.  There was a grill in the basement and they made edible hamburgers, but of course you had to pay extra for that.

You couldn't pay me to eat at South Quad then or now. It's been remodeled but I have too many bad, mostly alcohol induced, memories. My daughter is in Mojo now which always was top shelf and looks to be no different now.

The story now is that many rooms were taken off the dorm hall lottery a couple weeks ago because Markley is being remodeled(?) next year. Anyway many of her friends who want to be on Central Campus and are not Engineers, Architects,etc. are being "forced" to live on North Campus including the married housing places.

Two followups:

 

1.) MOJO dining hall is recently renovated, but the food is terrible and it is is always dirty.

2.) Michigan housing completely screwed over returning Freshmen this year.  They didn't tell any of the Freshmen that Markley was being renovated, and after the first day of three days of housing sign-up all the rooms on central were gone, and halfway through day two every single room everywhere had been taken.  So thousands of students are scrambling to find housing.

Somebody compared noro to mono. No, it's worse than noro, it's worse than mono.

Try having them at the SAME FXXXXXX TIME!

And of course, it's name is NONO.

when U of M students get Norovirus they exhibit the symptoms and vomit with enthusiasm unkown to viruses and mankind.

What would be seriously dick move would go open a few cans of Surströmming in both West and South quad.
