False Story Of The Week

From the Las Vegas Sun: Health officials said Saturday they're investigating whether a contagious stomach virus is the cause of an outbreak that has sickened dozens of players, coaches and parents taking part in a youth football tournament in Las Vegas.
Southern Nevada Health District spokesman Jorge Viote said his agency is interviewing the sick and taking samples from them as part of an investigation to pinpoint the cause of the outbreak.
But he said the flu-like symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea are consistent with norovirus, a mostly food- or water-borne illness that can also be spread by an infected person.
"That's why we're advising people to wash hands and take other precautions," Viote told The Associated Press. "It can spread if people don't take precautions."  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/dec/01/us-sick-kids-vegas/?utm_source=mostpopular&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=mostRead
What happened is that a bunch of kids came to Las Vegas from California, Colorado and other states and some of those kids came sick.
They then spread their illness to other people and a bunch of people became panicked.
Last Tuesday night and Wednesday, I had a nasty case of the flu- same symptoms as the kids and adults at the  Rio, but I didn't blame anybody or a building.
It's flu season, but every media outlet is somehow trying to link the Rio and the illness and making it look like the Rio was at fault.
Well, they were not.
But, of course, the little kids who brought the illness to Las Vegas could not be the fault, could they?  At least not to their parents, their little darling could not be at fault, so blame the Rio.
Just another false story by the media.
