http://usuncut.com/news/rnc-staffers-quarantined-norovirus-outbreak-reported-convention/They aren't completely sure it's Norovirus, but jeebus still hates them.
Noroviruses cause explosive vomiting and diarrhea, which can clear out a patient for one to three terrible days. While most norovirus patients recover on their own, some have needed medical assistance for dehydration.
They are also frighteningly contagious, and often spread quickly through crowded social events. When asked if California delegation staffers were the only ones affected so far, the California delegation chairman Jim Brulte said To the best of our knowledge.
While the RNC staffers are showing many clear symptoms of norovirus, health officials have yet to fully confirm the cause of the illnesses. Staff members will be quarantined until they can go 24 hours without showing symptoms.

It will be interesting to see how deep the bench is, if a few of the crazies miss their speaking engagements.

Jim Brulte, the California delegation chairman, told STAT in an email that the trouble started when one of the staff members who arrived ahead of the delegation came down with a virus and infected her husband.
He said the staff members who are showing symptoms are being quarantined until theyve gone at least 24 hours without showing symptoms.
To the best of our knowledge, Brulte said, delegation staff members were the only people affected.
