How is a stomach virus spread? Is it airborne?

Just wondering how your typical stomach bug or "24 hour" virus (that causes vomiting and diarrhea) is typically spread. I'm going to a New Year's Party tonight and some of the children contained by the family are sick beside it. If I just dangle out (breathe in the air) but don't devour or drink and keep my hand clean and stay out of their bathroom will I most feasible not get it? Thanks.


Answers:    Stomach virus like Norovirus and Rotavirus are typically spread by:

1. Eating food or drinking liquid that are contaminated
2. Touching surfaces or contaminated objects and then placing your mitt in your mouth
3. Having DIRECT contact beside a sick person who is infected and showing symptoms

Not intake or drinking, and washing your hand will probably go a long track in protecting you, however since it can be spread through direct contact you should be suspicious.

Why? Because the person remains contagious for up to 2-3 days after man sick AND the virus itself can remain in the stool for as long as 2 WEEKS after the sick personage recovers.

For this basis, you might very capably come in direct contact beside someone in the family unit who is either something like to get sick or "newly got over" the virus but is still contagious.

I would suggest playing it not dangerous and skipping the party.

Or better nonetheless, why doesn't the family end the party??
