ELECTION 2016 Norovirus Outbreak Reported at Republican Convention, Confirming It Has Become an Actu

The words “shit show” have been a common description of the Republican National Convention thus far. Highlights include D-list speakers, the lack of professional convention staff, the lower television ratings, the absence of many or most of the biggest names in Republican politics, and the spectacle of several formerly high profile conservatives ending their professional careers right there on the stage of the Quicken Loans Arena. It’s like watching a meteor (let’s call it Rudy) burning brightly as it crashes into the atmosphere, hurling toward imminent extinction.

Now there is news of a possible nasty norovirus outbreak at the convention:

As many as 11 members of the California delegation’s advance team are showing symptoms that are consistent with the norovirus, according to Peter Schade, the Erie County health commissioner, who is investigating the outbreak. They are staying at a hotel in Sandusky, Ohio, about an hour from Cleveland.
