The Sunshine State is one of 12 in the U. S. with a high number of confirmed outbreaks of the virus. Anyone suffering from a bout of the nasty, extremely contagious virus, beware: it has no specific treatment and typically has to run its course.

“It only takes a few virus particles to cause infections, so it doesn’t take much exposure to get sick from norovirus,” said Margaret Gorensek, an infectious disease doctor at Holy Cross Health in Fort Lauderdale.
Norovirus can spread through food, touch, and air particles.
Earlier this week, the Food and Drug Administration issued two separate seafood recalls in states, including Florida, over potential norovirus contamination.

Now, we are on the brink of a government shutdown.
All this has occurred before Trump or Vance have taken office.
