new viruses all over the place!

[hairyfairy]

Iv`e just read on facebook that something called sapovirus is doing the rounds. It has similar symptoms to norovirus. I find this very anxiety provoking because I`m emetophobic, & I keep thinking, where are all htese new bugs coming from? When I was growing up,I only heard about someone being laid low by a stomach bug once in a blue moon, now it seems everyone is catching them & some are so ill that they wind up in hospital on a drip. I`m wondering what`s going on? Do people have weaker immune systems nowadays, or are we really seeing new viruses evolving? It`s scaring the life out of me, & I feel paranoid that these bugs are out to get me.

Not sure about our immune systems, but I will be washing my hands more often. Thanks for the heads up.
