I know it isn't Friday, but strictly speaking this is a fecal-oral post and not just a feces post. Three cases of cholera were recently confirmed in NYC residents returning from a Dominican Republic wedding. NYC typically sees 1 case/year of confirmed cholera. All three people fully recovered without hospitalization, so no hospital infection prevention issues in this incident. Even if a patient was admitted, transmission in hospital would be extremely unlikely. Even then, something to be aware of.
