Is it true that Norovirus causes about 19 to 21 million illnesses in the United States each year, according to the CDC?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed and CDC sources state that norovirus causes 19–21 million total illnesses per year in the United States, matching the claim's figure and attribution. A separate 2019 foodborne-illness estimate of about 5.5 million norovirus illnesses covers only the foodborne subset, not total illnesses.
