The following is a list that shows how many cases of a food borne illness there was and when.

9/22/15 :arrow: 0 cases
9/23/15 :arrow: 3 cases
9/24/15 :arrow: 18 cases
9/25/15 :arrow: 4 cases
9/26/15 :arrow: 0 cases

What kind of epidemic is this?
(Did I word that correctly enough?)

1. The winter vomiting bug is norovirus.
2. Polymerase chain reaction assays are used to diagnose it.
3. Treatments generally focus on the mitigation of symptoms rather than the elimination of the infection. They provide measures to manage dehydration and mitigate symptoms using antiemetics.

What is the average onset time for Listeria monocytogenes?
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.
