Where did the virus originate?
Georgetown isn’t saying or doesn’t yet know, and the Department of Health is investigating. Leo’s is the obvious culprit, but what food the norovirus was in and how the virus got into Leo’s in the first place is still a question mark.My theory involves terrible employee handwashing facilities in Leo’s. The virus is also transmitted from fecal matter, so bad employee handwashing could easily cause this (Georgetown Medical’s Dr. Timpone confirmed that bad handwashing could be the cause). A June health inspection cited Leo’s for not having enough soap for employees. That problem was fixed, but it’s easy to imagine that problem recurring.
