USC Virus Outbreak Infection Grows to 200

norovirus at USCThe number of students at USC who have caught a strain of norovirus keeps on growing. As of this afternoon, around 200 students had been reported having the virus. That's 80 more than last night when the university sent out an alert to the campus. However, officials are saying it appears the trend has peaked and the number of students seeking medical aid have declined, according to the LA Times. Earlier last week, 170 students at Georgetown were also infected with a norovirus, which has us asking... who is patient zero traveling between the two schools?

maybe its a promo for the new movie quarantine?

perhaps they use the same food service company, and it was transmitted to both schools? any other schools reporting illnesses yet?
