This year the number of reported norovirus outbreaks have exceeded the numbers that we've seen recently and in the years before the pandemic, according to the CDC.
In December, the CDC reported five major cruise ship norovirus outbreaks, officially the largest outbreaks of the disease on cruise ships in the last 12 years.
Colloquially known as the stomach bug, norovirus is a sickness that often causes a short (24-hour) bout of appetite loss, stomach upset, vomiting, and diarrhea.
During the first week in December, there were 91 reported outbreaks of norovirus across the United States, the highest rate we've seen in the past 14 years.
