Should be Dirty Restrooms and not Restroom Cleanliness.
Clean restrooms don't cause Norovirus. Duh

I just copied the headline. I think it was supposed to convey that how
clean or not clean restrooms are kept is a factor in the spread of
norovirus.

dropped food. It was discovered that their bathroom has less germs then
their kitchen! Go figure.

Two seconds? I've always heard it as the five second rule.
Two seconds wouldn't allow enough time to pick up spilled chili. ;)

You didn't copy the headline.
The headline was perfectly reasonable. It said
"Study Ties Restrooms to Illnesses on Cruises".
The words Clean or Cleanliness were not in there. Lack of clean is
implied, although I did have to go halfway through the article to find
out whether they meant individual bathrooms, public bathrooms or both.

Ahem, as an NRA Life member, I need to correct this.
Restrooms don't cause norovirus outbreaks, people causes norovirus
outbreaks.

Actually I think norovirus outbreaks are caused by norovirus.

Saw a cute comic strip weeks ago... likewise, there's no need to call our
dog for "Leftunders".

I'm sure that was meant in jest, but the word cleanliness is
a descriptive word for the level of "clean". Which in this
case means not enough "clean".
So the headline is correct.
Rosalie B.
To be correct it would have to be "Study says lack of restroom
cleanliness may cause outbreaks of norovirus"
If I was writing the headline, I think I would make it shorter and
more accurate and say something like
"Study Implicates Dirty Cruise Ship Restrooms in Norovirus Outbreaks"

Attacks? National Rifle Assn.? Only the former has to do with
restrooms. Nightly Refrigerator Attacks might have something to do with
the toilet if the food was spoiled. National Rifle Assn.? Maybe, but
only if you like to do target practice on toilets and urinals. (The
detritus and dust that's kicked up could be contaminated with Norovirus
or Tourista"

Study of restroom cleanliness may cause outbreaks of norovious.
That would be the National Enquirer headline.
