Mysterious virus sickens almost 200 Hackley students

TARRYTOWN - About 200 youths - or a quarter of the student population - who attend the private Hackley School have contracted a norovirus, spawning a health investigation into the viral infection, officials said.

LOHUD

Im woundering how such a thing could be so contained to one school, and not be food poisoning.

The same exact thing just happened at my school. Only the sickness was limited to a few dozen students.

Sorry, but it isn't a "mystery-virus" it is a "norovirus"...and it is airborn, highly contagious, and cannot be treated with antibiotics. I am not surprised that in a SCHOOL environment that a virus is sweeping through. You have 20-30 students in a class...1 comes in sick...passes it around...then goes to the next class with different people...spreads like dandelions in unfertilized grass!
