Doctor Michael J. Koren welcomes his longtime colleague Doctor Victoria Helow on this episode where they talk about the stomach flu; norovirus. Dr. Helow, a pediatrician, pediatric emergency specialist, and clinical researcher shares her experience with norovirus, its effects, how to fight it, and why it’s so dangerous in hospitals, communal retirement homes, and cruise ships. The doctors also investigate why norovirus can be such a challenge to fight and control, and why many sterilization techniques don’t work on this stubborn virus.

Catch Koren's Key Takeaways:

• Norovirus is also known as the "stomach bug"
• Norovirus is highly infective and spreads easily
• Hospitals and elderly homes are susceptible; not just cruise ships
• Hand sanitizer doesn't work on norovirus
