Talk:Big Kahuna: How to Avoid or Overcome a Vomit Wave/@comment-29855680-20180813090734

The main cause of vomiting in a hospital is low hygiene, not low health. I would avoid hiring masses of janitors myself, it's an expensive way to go and they can't stop it, if anything, they will add to it should their hygiene plummet. Hand sanitisers and people washing their hands is the answer. Replace unhygienic staff.

Staff are affected as well, so if everybody's hygiene is low, including the staff, then everybody is being sick, not just the patients. So the whole hospital is much less effective. Keep the hospital clean, employ clean staff.

Certain illnesses are especially filthy and rapidly lower hygiene. Identifying them and managing them quickly and getting them out of the hospital is also worth doing.
