What? Boston hospitals not taking patients for 4 freaking days because of norovirus outbreak? wtf, mate?

Just saying, it seems to me that this should be total top New England headlines, not the tragic monoxide thing or the (also) tragic gang war nonsense.

"A wave of vomiting and diarrhea has swept through wards at two Boston hospitals in the past month, leaving more than 70 patients and staff members ill from a germ whose spread can be slowed by thorough hand-washing.

The outbreaks of norovirus spawned several days of gastrointestinal misery at Brigham and Women's and Massachusetts General hospitals and at a day-care facility run by Children's Hospital Boston, where 33 children and employees fell ill.

The stricken medical ward stopped accepting patients for four days..."

Someone very nice I know is in treatment at one of these hospitals for something very serious. I very much hope she knew before it finally made the news that it wasn't ok for people with compromised immune systems to go anywhere near there.
