CLEVELAND (KCBS) – Members of the California delegation at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland have fallen sick with the norovirus, a highly contagious stomach bug that causes diarrhea and vomiting.
KCBS reporter Doug Sovern first tweeted the news of the outbreak Tuesday.
About a dozen in CA delegation felled by norovirus now, moving them offsite as a precaution to keep from spreading. #RNCinCLE (I feel fine)

Sovern said the outbreak started among some members of the delegation on Sunday and spread to more than a dozen members.

I've been lucky (or blessed) so far.
“I heard they were staying at Great Wolf Lodge or some such place that has a waterpark in Sandusky.
Lots of kids would be there.”
Sandusky? Kids? The food is the least think I would be worried about.
That's what cruise ship attorneys tell all their customers.☺
I was just being sarcastic, but you never know with the Cruzers!
A large portion of the CA delegation is staying at one of the hotel-water park establishments near Cedar Point. If they got it Sunday, they probably brought it with them. That could get weird if norovirus spreads out there with the heat wave coming in.

Or maybe the members of the California delegation like so many Californicators were just full of crap to begin with.
Just on the Cleveland news: It was at the Kalahari Resort, near Cedar Point. The suspected cases were in the advance planning team for the CA delegation, who got there Thursday. The symptoms are consistent with Norvovirus, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet.
If they got there Thurs it’s more likely they picked it up somewhere in Cleveland and then spread it amongst themselves, for onset on Sun.
Probably is the resort. Noro comes on fast so if they were there on Thursday then it had to be contracted in Cleveland. Noro is pretty tough to kill so there could be more cases shortly. Hope not. The opportunity of a lifetime ruined. Gotta feel for these folks.
Tomorrow 85 degrees forecast, then Thursday through Sunday in the 90s. I'm risk-adverse. Don't think I'll put myself in an environment where Norvo is likely to spread.
I have to get out more.. my first thought was ... if Ted Cruz catches the norovirus it could be fatal because he is FOS!!!
