Nice post, but you are wrong about that theory, it's completely absurd imo. Think about the total area the gas would need to cover in order to affect all those places. And why would gas leaks from earthquakes target schools? And why haven't any of the air tests revealed the presence of any dangerous gases? It seems in all instances only certain people were affected. People watching the game didn't become sick, only certain people in the football team and band squad fill ill, some students were completely fine and watched as others started to fall down and throw up. There is no way a gas would act in that way imo. The behavior suggests something is actually propagating between people at a rapid pace, but isn't getting to all of them. Why would only one firefighter get ill, and after examining a sick girl? Think about that. If a gas was still present in the area, you wouldn't expect it to only affect one firefighter.
The gases from the earth theory makes sense to.

The fact that they even offered Norovirus as a possibility is ridiculous.
(Physician Yang Ruiming said) My CD4 cells are now 386, as measured by Zhongshan Medical University, Fifth Affiliated Hospital, Zhuhai City.
-snip-
The doctors and experts have overlooked a very important test result: that the number of CD4 cells in these patients is generally lower than normal: these patients have a CD4 count usually between 300 to 700, although some patients are in the normal CD4 range. Normal CD4 values are between 800 and 1200. This essentially is the situation with these patients.
Post #60: Translation from Chinese-to-English Letter to the Chinese Ministry of Health, written by Yang Ruiming
Winter vomiting disease is caused by the small round structured virus (SRSV), also known as the Norwalk-like virus or norovirus.
Norovirus lives in the gut and is passed from person to person by poor hygiene after using the bathroom - not washing hands properly after using the toilet and then touching toilet handles, seats, door handles and so on.
It can also be spread when someone vomits and small aerosols containing the virus enter the air.
Only very small amounts of the virus are needed to cause illness and it's easily spread in closed communities, such as hospitals, schools and cruise ships.
The incubation period is usually between 24 and 48 hours. This is followed by severe and sudden projectile vomiting, diarrhoea and fever symptoms, which last about 48 hours.
Although the infection's unpleasant, it's rarely dangerous. There's no specific treatment, but rest and drinking plenty of water are recommended. A bigger problem is eradicating it fully.
Practising good hygiene by washing hands regularly reduces the chance of passing on the infection. People with the winter vomiting bug should stay off work while the symptoms persist and for about two days afterwards, when they're still infectious.
It isn't the norovirus. And do you want to know why?

The bug, known variously as Norwalk virus and SRSV (small roundstructured virus), often starts with the sudden onset of severe and explosive sickness Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk...

What's that... 550 people ill in one day?
Schools have been particularly badly hit by the outbreak.
One of the first affected was Fowey Community College in Cornwall, where half the 1,100 children called in sick on one day last week.
So it's virtually the strongest virus out there?
Britain's leading infections expert, Professor Hugh Pennington, called the bug the 'Mike Tyson of viruses'.
Well that's convenient isn't it?
But it was more difficult to study the SRSV in the lab under microscopes compared with salmonella and E.coli, he added.
Many patients do not go to see their doctor and if they do they are unlikely to take a sample that would confirm the nature of the illness.
But a norwalk/norovirus infection doesn't 'start' with a sudden onset of explosive sickness! It's clearly documented that there's a 24 to 48 hour incubation period! It's extremely unlikely that so many people could reach the explosive stage all at the same time (in the most recent cases they were all sick within minutes or seconds of each other).
The infection usually starts with the sudden onset of severe and explosive sickness, known as projectile vomiting. The victim can be absolutely fine one minute and then vomiting the next.
