An outbreak of noravirus at a east bay nursing home appears to be contained. 30 people in walnut creek were treated last week the Health Department said all the affected patients and workers have recovered. Investigators did not find a source of the infection and that outbreak is especially troubling for people being treated for other health issues. They are at greater risk. People can die from it.

Currently approximately two to 6 of all children have some form of food allergy. If you think about that thats about one to two children in every classroom in america on average.
