Never insist on vomit going in the toilet etc. Just let them vomit where they are. Horrible but things can be cleaned - sounds like you are there with the towels/ bowls etc. Read a heart breaking story of a child holding in their vomit to run to the toilet they aspirated on it and died. Better out than in and things can always be cleaned.
Hope they recover quickly.

Heart breaking

My goodness

Ok simple solution on my list now too

How to survive a sick bug would be my Ted Talk 😆

If the smell lingers once everything is clean/dry put down a good sprinkling of bicarbonate of soda, leave overnight or for as long as you can, then hoover up. That should get rid of the smell though might take a few attempts.

I'm also a firm believer in opening windows and airing the house as much as possible.

Yes this! As much as you can!
