Lots of illness outbreaks in Chicago:
Started a few weeks ago:

"Salmonella food poisoning cases related to the salad served by Pars Cove at the Taste of Chicago food festival has risen to 717 as of noon on Friday, according to a press release from the Chicago Department of Public Health."
There are reports of a lot of illness breaking out at a Hilton hotel downtown Chicago on the news tonight. I will repost as links become available. Currently they are blaming Norovirus. Here's a link:

My work has seen a lot of sick people this week, our parking lot is about 1/2 full every day.

A link from February:

What's really going on here?
"A norovirus--often labeled the "stomach flu"--is blamed for sickening more than 150 guests and workers at a fund-raising event at Chicago's famed Drake Hotel 11 days ago. Local health officials praised the hotel for its swift action in addressing the problem and said there was no evidence that the outbreak had spread."
Vegas:

"When a virus infected more than 1,200 guests and employees at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel in October, managers offered a powerful incentive for sick workers to stay home: six days off with pay."
http://www.anitavacation.com/articles/cruise/sickships052206.shtml
"The CDC believes that noroviruses are becoming more virulent. And while noroviruses worry ship doctors a lot, they are a bigger problem on land than at sea. Last month, for example, an outbreak of norovirus occurred in 11 Chicago-area hospitals and nursing homes, reportedly affecting 536 people."
Wash your hands.
