– Rampancy of Norovirus –
As you can see, norovirus is going on a rampage. In the article, it seems that a source of infection is “an unconventional virus” because of inexplicable nature. As I have explained about it so far, it is due to a rapid decline in human immunity. Therefore, it is far from easily passing, but rather there is a possibility that it will spread throughout the world along with bird flu and swine flu.
Since most of earthling, who failed to
receive the Light showered on January 1, have reduced functioning of endocrine
gland as well as immunity, so-called incurable diseases will increase to an
inconsiderable degree. It is possible
that mental illnesses including depression and dementia will rapidly
increase. This outcome was anticipated
after the perihelion passage of Comet ISON in the middle of December last year.

Norovirus
– Outbreak of New Type? Infection Spreads
Norovirus is going on a
rampage all over the country. Although the outbreak
is usually supposed to pass around the yearend, the news of large-scale
infection with the virus has been heard this season even after the start of a
new year. It is presumably due to the
spread of an unconventional virus.
Norovirus is the virus
which grows in the human bowel. It is such a highly
infectious virus that it was called “stomach flu” and accompanies a symptom of severe diarrhea.
Infection with norovirus is through
entering into the mouth from a hand which touches the stools of an infected
person. Alcohol is ineffective in
destroying the virus and hypochlorous acid contained in bleach is used to sterilize
it. It is said that recently
anti-bacterial spray containing diluted hypochlorous acid is available.
Norovirus spreads to hundreds of people through
school lunch or spreads in facilities for the elderly. It is necessary to take organizational
measures mainly in places where food service is provided.
Norovirus was detected at a town Norwalk,
America, in 1968. At that time, it was
named after the place and called Norwalk virus.
Subsequently, the international society shortened the name and named as
norovirus. The name has become vague in
the meaning. (Yoshihiko Tamura)
