I hope you have a wonderful adventure in Taiwan. Not a swashbuckling adventure, just a prawn flavored pringles adventure.

Wow. Is it me, or does that read like it was written by an AI? And then not edited by an actual human. :P

Wow. :blink: Those are certainly a bunch of words about the superbug, also known by many as the norovirus, which is considered to be a stomach bug.

But yeah, my money is on some kind of AI. Maybe one trained on Perd Hapley quotes.

Not only is it poorly written but full of misinformation.

News flash: antibiotics are not used to treat norovirus. It's a virus. Antibiotics don't work against viruses.
