    After clinical testing, public health officials in Nash County, North Carolina, say norovirus made dozens of people sick after eating at the Ribeye's Steakhouse Restaurant, and now may be spreading in the community. Heath officials say it's likely that it started in the restaurant and spread into the town. They believe the restaurant is norovirus-free as of Friday.

    The oysters were relatively cheap and plentiful last weekend in Brisbane, so we went through two dozen. I ate most of them. Every time I visit the fishmonger, he asks if I want to sample a raw oyster to verify their quality and I say, no thanks. I prefer mine grilled.

    Sales of norovirus-free oysters at the Cornish Shellfish Co have grown by 100% since an FSA study in November revealed that three quarters of all UK oysters carried the virus.
