«Breaking News» Legionnaire's outbreak at Disneyland

Disneyland has been fined $33,000 for failing to protect people from Legionnaire's disease. 

Three employees at the park in Anaheim, California, contracted the life-threatening condition in the last year, with two requiring hospital treatment.

Their cases were part of a county-wide outbreak that sickened more than a dozen, and killed one. 

Now, the Los Angeles Times has reported that, in an effort to control the outbreaks, California health officials slapped a hefty fine on Disneyland after finding that its cooling systems were poorly maintained.

Legionnaire's is spread via water droplets and air particles. It is caused by bacteria that can grow in man-made water systems.

Most infections are in people exposed to dirty or poorly maintained air conditioning units. People can develop pneumonia after breathing in contaminated vapor.

In sunny California, cooling systems abound, and ride-filled Disneyland is full of them.  

Disneyland has appealed and objected to the allegation that the park's cooling equipment caused the illness. 

The park says the source of the outbreak was not scientifically determined.

But officials are keen to show action is being taken. 

There has been a 450 percent increase of cases in the past two decades, according to a 2017 CDC report. 

Flu-like symptoms including fever, fatigue and muscle ache typically appear between two and 10 days of inhaling the legionella bacteria.

In most cases, the lung infection can be cured with a course of antibiotics.

However, in vulnerable populations such as the elderly or people with compromised immune systems, it can cause life-threatening complications including organ failure and septic shock.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
