seems they may have pinned down the type it is.....


hope they can confirm the type and keep it under control...

Don't need no epidemics, endemics or ??? as we enter the fall and soon holiday season.

(sure would be nice to have a spell WITHOUT some crisis or another...... be it disease, nature, or bush made....)

I heard it may be Legionaires diease.

Funny it took a while before they found it. So many deaths........

There's something odd about that. They had originally yeilded legionaires out because it doesn't usually hit so many and didn't show up in urine samples. Apparently that's the usual way of testing for it.

When they did cultured samples it showed up though. I wonder if they blew the original tests or is this is a new strain or something.

.......thinking that it just might be a new strain. Not a happy thought is it???

It's the way evolution works. We might as well just accept that new strains of things come along sometimes and do our best not to encourage it.
