Actually, Norwalk is the 2nd most common source of illness, behind the
common cold. For some reason, the cruise ship outbreaks get all the
press.
Try this: search Google News for Norwalk and your town or state. You
will probably find an outbreak close to you that is only getting press
in the local newspaper. I once did this to prove a point to someone
concerned about cruise ship Norwalk in my office. I found an outbreak
in a college lunchroom within 1/4 mile of our location that was only
getting low key press coverage.
