Hi Victoria! Before reading your post, I had never heard of Legionnaires' disease. I guess it never occurred to me how if a contagious disease broke out in a prison, it would probably spread very easily. There are lots of people in close proximity to each other on a day to day basis. That could be a real problem if they don't control it quickly. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHey Victoria,

One of my friends had actually told me the other day that there was a case here so I was glad to here that was not true.
