The winter vomiting bug norovirus has struck 2.8million people, with health professionals braced for another rise as people return to schools and offices.

The virus - which causes projectile vomiting, diarrhoea, mild fevers and headaches - is striking down more than 200,000 a week, according to official estimates.

Three hospitals have been placed on red alert, while hundreds of wards up and down the country have been closed to new patients as the number of beds being taken up by bug victims reaches critical levels.

I was in SA back in 71-72 in the army at Ft. Sam Houston. We loved the river walk area. It looked so cool at night.

The Riverwalk has gotten even better with more restaurants and stuff since you were there. It is a great place to stroll except when it’s really crowded. I almost got shoved off (accidentally) into the river last time we were there.
