Maybe they were simply trying to protect Baywood (and to some degree Environmental Health) from bad publicity, but the numbers from the articles tell it all.<BR/><BR/>Meals served - 900<BR/>Persons contacted - 346<BR/>Confirmed sick - 166<BR/><BR/>Statistically then the number sickened was 432.<BR/><BR/>Seems more dramatic doesn’t it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-52647728862065669752007-12-10T09:34:00.000-08:002007-12-10T09:34:00.000-08:00Last time this happened was at the Eureka Inn in 2...Last time this happened was at the Eureka Inn in 2002.

My wife Robin ate there on Tuesday and didn't feel well on Wednesday morning but didn't know about the virus thing and went to work. (We joke that we don't do sick in our household. No time for it.)samoasoftballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244238117702878406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-37973874100142808632007-12-07T20:14:00.000-08:002007-12-07T20:14:00.000-08:00The difference between the T-S coverage and the ER...The difference between the T-S coverage and the ER coverage is simple – the T-S had a reporter write an article about the situation, while the ER simply printed a press release from the health dept.<BR/><BR/>I don't know the reasons for this. Could be a simple staffing issue.<BR/><BR/>Either way, the reason the ER's coverage is lacking is because the paper didn't have anyone write about the problem.Jack Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610160776642918341noreply@blogger.com
