So, is there a stomach bug going around? Yes, probably. It’s out there, lurking on a handrail or a shared bag of chips. But here’s the thing: this too shall pass—literally and figuratively. You’ll wash your hands more, you’ll joke about the experience with friends, and you’ll gain a deeper respect for the humble toilet bowl.
Next time you hear someone say, “I think something’s going around,” don’t panic. Just nod, wash your hands for 20 seconds, and maybe skip the party platter for a bit. Life is short, but a stomach bug makes it feel really long—so take care of your gut, your patience, and your sense of humor. You’ll need all three.
