Its very hard to tell if illnesses are food poisoning or viruses. I get a lot of "something", often while travelling in Asia. I think getting older also makes you more susceptible to everything!
I once ended up in hospital with the most god-awful case of food poisoning, from rice left at room temperature!
Considering 25% of us 'carry' the most common food poisoning bacteria up our nose it is always easy to blame the food.
Obviously when there is a mass outbreak is is going to be the food. It could just be bad toilet hygiene of the person that went before you and left the door knob or faucet handle festering with bacteria.

Out of interest I did recently study the best way to reduce bacteria like this in 'clean' environments like hospitals that have already instigated good hand washing and touch surface cleansing. The next step is adopting 'bare below the elbow' dress codes.Original Post Deleted
HK public hospitals are very good at hand washing and touch point cleansing but still need someway to go to further eradicate the risk of bacteria spreading.
HK's cheek by jowl living and the climate coupled with lax disinfecting regimes are the perfect environment for bacteria.

The culprit could be Bacillus cereus, which can form spores: https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-que...ood-poisoning/
When I was backpacking I used Bangkok as a 'hub' and was often sick there... it got to a point where I would start to feel sick before I'd even landed in Bangkok.
The worst food poisoning I ever had was in New Zealand.
I was at Tai Koo Cityplaza a few months ago and the there is a new Dan Ryan's there. I had a look at the menu and the hostess tried to entice me inside. I asked here if she knew her restaurant had recently killed someone. She did not. I can not believe that restaurant has the nerve to continue their business here after killing someone. I mean seriously, how does any restaurant recover from that.
