Who got hit with norovirus at Arisia?

My husband and I did. As a friend said in response, "Noro as con crud? Sweet fancy Moses, what a nightmare scenario."

We're over the worst of it now, but we're going to stay another night at the hotel so that we don't have to rush to pack up and load out when we're not feeling so well.

ETA: My aim here is not to point fingers at anyone (I'd have to point the finger at myself if I were, as my exposure likely occurred before the con started and hit with full force on Saturday; I know for a fact that several people got it from me, about which I feel awful). Norovirus is incredibly contagious and is currently endemic in numerous communities. The hotel needs to know for public health purposes, and the con needs to know so that greater precautions could perhaps be taken next year to mitigate the spread. Also, this post has helped at least one person identify what happened to hir, so it's turned into a bit of a public service as well.
