This is very concerning with how populated NYC is. hopefully they get to the bottom of this fast.

Commentary:
Legionnaires' disease Is  definitely a concern and challenge for me even though I don’t live in the city ..
i live in the Appalachian mountains and this is technically a temperate rainforest. I live in an area hit by hurricane Helene flooding as well as in an old house with older plumbing… of course just because something is old doesn’t mean it plays a factor in contributing to Legionnaires' disease. I would assume any new ill placed buildings and construction, water drainage problems  and septic areas and/ or ill designed material/household objects such as ventilation systems heating systems and air conditioners contribute to  to bacteria problems which contribute to  Legionnaire’s disease.

.. for there was also recall in a new little ill designed air conditioner we own  that collects mold..

Legionnaires' disease Is likely a widespread challenge and I look forward to learning more about it because quite frankly, Steve of Data Report Info site, the drip behind the bathroom faucets,  and the odd stale musty odor coming from one of my air conditioners during the middle of a heat and covid wave has just brought it to my attention….
