Outbreak in Ohio:

Cost of the 2008 Norovirus Incident in Kent

Like most Ohio restaurants, the Chipotle restaurant where nearly all of the victims caught norovirus didn't provide paid sick days. This report takes a look at the costs of this virus, which might have been averted if the sick workers had been able to stay home.
