California Delegation Executive Director Cynthia Bryant confirmed at least one member of the delegation was ill, but as many as a dozen delegates were sick with a similar virus, according to CBS San Francisco reporter Doug Sovern.

About a dozen in CA delegation felled by norovirus now, moving them offsite as a precaution to keep from spreading. #RNCinCLE (I feel fine)

...

Any delegates with symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea were asked to contact California GOP officials and refrain from riding the bus with the rest of the delegation.

It’s probably a muslime jihadibus carrying a dirty bomb that’s not been sealed efficiently.
If so.....we will never be told.

Btw, that would also suggested a dozen or so delegates from all over CA, all lived in the same home, and or ate at the same exact CA restaurants and or all flew into Ohio on the same aircraft etc.

Not very likely.

Something or someone on the bus triggered it. Maybe someone who had chemo recently. Good to know they have sensors.

I don’t know why Jim Brulte, chairman of the state GOP, would make such a statement unless he thought it was true.

The WaPo article also goes into a little more detail on how the virus spread through the delegation.

Authorities swept a bus with radiation meters and found nothing. We believe situation is over and was a false alarm, we will keep monitoring

Btw, how would some GOP hack have any idea about where this originated? Again, not very likely.

the Common Cold.......happens to me every year.

Health officials weren’t sure if the illness was caused by a norovirus or from listening to anti-Trump protesters all day...

The virus is probably an undocumented immigrant from Mexico.

“And the lefties were on twitter declaring their intent to distribute special goodies in room service.”

Although it doesn’t assure anything, I NEVER let hotel staff into my room, for any reason. It’s now really due to paranoia (although I have no shortage of that), it’s just that I don’t need their help. At home I reuse towels and linens for weeks and carrying enough shampoo/soap for my stay isn’t that hard either.

So why bother with them - just to make my bed? No thanks, I make my own bed at home, I can do it on the road too.
