 Chinese New Year is around the corner.  

Why I write about Noro but I did not try to write about Nipah Virus.  Because, there are much higher chance for my readers to get "attack" by the former. 

Nipah V is similar to SARS 1 Virus of 2003.  Nipah happened in Malaysia around 1998, around Bukit Pelanduk, Negeri Sembilan.  Though scary, the THREAT to us is mainly a psychological/mental one.

Noro is a food poisoning virus.  And CNY is here, MAKAN is a big affair during festivals.  The THREAT here is as long as you eat some uncooked food, you can get it.  Higher chance to get it from uncooked seafood.

An outbreak of food poisoning just happened (since mid January) in Hong Kong likely, initial incident traced to a 5 Stars Hotel. Up to yesterday about 70 affected. 

So, it can happen anywhere.  

Enjoy your Chinese New Year.  

Stay away from Food Poisoning.
