May not be enough. We had only been around our Grandson for a few hours. I wore disposable gloves, washed my hands afterwards when I cleaned his vomit soaked crib sheets. The stench of the vomit was horrific. Can it be airborne from vomit? Maybe, but I did not have a mask with me.
Within 12 hours everyone in the house came down with it, including a babysitter who was only there for an hour while he was sleeping. Makes me think it can be airborne. This happened in the middle of Winter when all the Windows were shut tight.
My 67 year old husband drove back to Florida from NY alone the next day. He went out and bought Depends, Gatorade, and Bananas to eat. By the time he got to South Florida, he said he felt fine, was starving, and went to eat a big dinner. Generally, you get over a Norovirus very quickly.
