NYC names hotel as source of deadly Legionnaires' outbreak
[link to m.aol.com]






NEW YORK (AP) — A historic hotel's rooftop air-conditioning unit is the source of a Legionnaires' disease outbreak that has killed 12 people and sickened more than 100 in the Bronx, city Health Commissioner Mary Bassett said Thursday.
After extensive sampling and testing of Legionnaires'-causing bacteria, laboratories have matched the strain found in the hotel's rooftop unit — also called a cooling tower — with the strain found in 25 patients, some of whom died, Bassett said.
"The outbreak is over," Bassett said, noting the maximum incubation period has passed since the last new report of someone coming down with symptoms.

Yup, just another dirty Nagger disease.

I am surprised it took them this long to find out the relationship between the people who contracted it.

The first outbreak, in 1976, was the same thing. Hotel air conditioner infecting the Legionnaires who where at the hotel for a convention.

It should have taken them a lot less time to trace it back to the source in 2015.

STFU Ignoramus. It is a dirty air conditioning disease and the first known cases were old men who belonged to a club.

If I remember correctly, the outbreak in 1976 was from pigeon poop in the AC system.
