The Norovirus That Swept Through Seattle
On June 10,public health researchers detected a surge in social media chatter about vomiting and diarrhea in Seattle.They found a large signal for adenovirus F40/41 in wastewater,a major cause of acute gastroenteritis.
According to Harvard epidemiologist Syra Madad,norovirus is highly infectious and outbreaks are common during mass gatherings.
The Heat That Sent Fans to Hospitals
More than 1 in 3 World Cup matches face dangerously hot conditions.In Houston,temperatures over 90°F sent multiple fans to the hospital.In Miami,the heat index exceeded 100°F during the first match,with 10 heat-related calls and two hospital transports.
Over 100 heat-related incidents were reported at the Houston Fan Festival,with four hospitalized.Temporary medical tents were set up outside Texas hospitals.We're getting in the high 90s,said Dr.Patrick Liu.Humidity makes it harder for people to regulate their temperature.
The Measles Threat
Over 2,000 people in the U.S.have contracted measles this year.A single patient can spread it to 18 unprotected people.Measles is spreading in Canada,with over 11,000 cases in Mexico.
The Pan American Health Organization issued formal health warnings covering measles,dengue,norovirus,and heat illness.One expert said they would not be surprised to see a measles outbreak linked to the World Cup.
The Real Problem:No One to Complain To
A fan with severe diarrhea needs to know:should I go to a hospital?Instead,they search Google.A fan with heat exhaustion needs to find a cooling center.Instead,they wander and guess.
A fan with a fever and rash needs a measles test location.Instead,they call an overwhelmed hospital and get no answer.
