The Wall Street Journal is reporting an outbreak of the flu at recent tech conferences. According to the report here.

“The San Francisco Department of Public Heath this week warned of an outbreak of the Norovirus at the Moscone Center, where Sun Microsystems is currently hosting the JavaOne conference. The Norovirus is a highly contagious flu-like virus that causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and some stomach cramping. A spokesman for the city tells the Business Technology Blog that the warning came after the public-health department received several complaints from attendees at Sun’s conference.”

Seems like there have been quite a few other events afflicted by the outbreaks including the recent RSA Security Conference I attended which was focused on a far different type of virus.
