Maybe the norovirus really is carried by the wind! Hope College, a Christian liberal arts college in Michigan with 3,200 students, has fallen prey to a “norovirus-like” outbreak.

Hope College officials say since Friday, more than 400 staff and students have come down with symptoms of the nasty flu that has been knocking down people like bowling pins.

Campus buildings are being sanitized, the dining hall is serving take-out in disposable containers, and victims of the virus are complaining together in a Facebook group. Sound familiar? Worse, the school has only 3,200 students–that’s about 1/8th of their student body!
