A child vomited copiously in the dining room during lunch at my daughter's school yesterday. They mopped it up and resumed lunch, serving from open food platters to the next lunch sitting. There is a sickness bug sweeping through the school..

AIBU to think this is not a reasonable way to respond? It's pretty well known that noro can live on surfaces for a long time, and spoil food if in the vicinity of a vomit. They just served that food like nothing had happened.

Has this ever happened to your child, and did they get sick?

Please be gentle with your replies, I'm emetophobic ( fear of vomit) and my daughter was born with lots of health issues in her tummy so a sickness bug isn't just a few days of hell, its months of feeling ill for month. Usually takes months of PII treatment to get the residual inflammation under control even when the bug is gone. Last one, had her in pain and feeling sick for 5 months so I literally dread this time of year.

I understand where you are coming from to some extent but I'm not sure what you would want the school to do instead? Lunch is time pressured in school. There are hundreds of children to be fed and only one place to feed them in. It's not like they can just move them all somewhere else and make new food for them.
