@jody, This was in the news today. Legionnaires in nine schools water supplies.

Probably because the water supplies have been stagnant for months.
That is exactly the reason. I found it interesting that we were discussing it on a modeling session recently.

Curious indeed. Itās literally what @Khai does for workā¦ well maybe he does more. So curious that Iām almost 50 and have never heard about it being a modern, real thing affecting people.
Edit: You ever write something about yourself and only then do you realize itās truth. āalmost 50ā is such a curious thingā¦ I remember when I thought that was old.

As I had suggested in the chat, it only hits the news when there is a large outbreak. But actually there have been a bunch of them in the last ten years also.
List of outbreaks.
Donāt feel bad, Iām sure I thought the same thing at 50, then 60 and now 70 more or less.

urggh. seeing 2 things from that articleā¦
first (as mentioned) the buildings have been vacant and no oneās been doing the flushing. (just running the water to keep things moving).
secondly, theyāve either not kept up a water testing regimeā¦ or donāt have one anywayā¦
theyāve found it nowā¦ but this is probably an ongoing issueā¦
oh to noteā¦ itās perfectly safe to Drink water with Legionella in it. itās breathing it in thats the problem. (the article got that wrongā¦)
