Health issues: Outbreak of a virus causing diarrea

This January, there is an outbreak of  gastroenteritis or RotaVirus, a disease that affects the alimentary canal.
It is common with ages 0 to 5, but could affect adults too.
It is accompanied by diarrhea - constant watery stooling and vomiting; and it also induces little fever.

Now, don't panic if it gets into your family. Administer electrolyte- salt and sugar mixed in a clean water as much as you can.
Again, do not try stopping the diarrea swiftly. Do not try self medication, see a doctor and follow instructions.
It is not a deadly ailment except when dehydration is allowed.

Have you heard the classic story about the little boy who noticed the huge red-and-green sign spray-painted on a department store: "Happy Xmas." And he wondered aloud about the X. Why was it X-mas? And finally, in a forlorn voice, he asked his dad: "Did they cross Christ out of Christmas, Daddy?" And the father had never thought of it that way before, but finally nodded. "Yes, Son, I guess they did." And it makes you think.
