Please do research proven fact that reusable shopping bags carry and spread norovirus

Norovirus are not bacteria. They are virus. Nothing like bacteria.
Do some research yourself on the differences between bacteria and virus!

Plus the fact that first they have to be in contact with someone that actually has norovirus - these things don't spontaneously come into existence.

there is more chance of contracting the noro virus from the cashiers hands and the exchange of money than on a reuseable shopping bag!!

I thought the idea of reusable carrier bags was to reuse the ones you had already?So wouldn't you just be passing on the virus you already had to .............yourself?

There was one instance of a reusable bag becoming contaminated with the norovirus. It was stored in a hotel bathroom where someone was suffering from the symptoms of the norovirus.

The bag was subsequently used to store food for a post match snack. The team all went down with the norovirus.

I wouldn't blame the bag.
I would blame the idiot who though bathrooms were an appropriate place to store food or food containers and then subsequently use them after some one had been ill in the room.
