after nearly two months, an update for the Legionnaires Disease outbreak in Canada: 30 confirm cases, all visited ICU, with two deaths, and the source of the outbreak has not been identified #legionella#legionnairesdisease#outbreak#legionellosiswww.healthunit.com/news/Legione...

Hong Kong's Centre for Health Protection (CHP) is still not doing its job - Public Health Singapore still reporting far fewer cases of Legionnaires Disease 25 v 87 cases in Hong Kong -- shameful #singapore#hongkong#legionella#legionnairesdisease#publichealth#Legionellosis

Astonishing that 133 (23%) cooling towers were found harbouring the killer LEGIONELLA bacteria - with 15 towers over 1,000cfu/ml legal limit ! Will they send flowers to the funerals? #legionella#legionnairesdisease#hongkong#coolingtowers#risk#legionellosis

Hong Kong doctors falsely insist that Legionnaires Disease can only be contracted by susceptible persons (refer to screenshot figure 2). Obviously, that is blatantly WRONG, and shows authors don't really understand #legionella#legionnairesdisease#legionellosis#hongkong

cant help thinking about Kwun Tong, currently top of the leader board for Legionnaires Disease patients, where the elderly taking a stroll could be a serious health hazard ⚠ #legionella#legionnairesdisease#hongkong#kwuntong#legionellosis#kowloon#publichealth#awareness

In 2023 Legionnaires Disease caused 14 deaths (CFR 11.6%) yet, nothing was learnt as 2024 data indicates we will again see a similar number of deaths #legionnairesdisease#legionella#hongkong#coolingtowers#legionellosis#vacantoffice

"potentially serious" Eejits at the BBC with an unfathomable depth of ignorance that would make Captain Nemo proud. Obviously, it is a very serious disease, with an unforgiving 10% fatality rate #legionnairesdisease#legionella#bbc#sportscentre#legionellosis

Legionnaires Disease outbreaks become tourist warnings in the media. Given Hong Kong's shocking 22% of EMSD tested cooling towers are positive for deadly Legionella, Hong Kong might be next! #legionella#hongkong#tourism#risk#legionnairesdisease#legionellosis

Update: 10 Sept. 2024, Legionnaires Disease cases by district chart, Kwun Tong has moved up (now about 10% of cases) to joint first place with Eastern district. #legionella#hongkong#legionnairesdisease#districts#legionellosisx.com/CTauditor/st...

Legionnaires Disease patients are typically older males. In Hong Kong the average patient is about 68 years old with ratio of 6 male to 1 female (which according to literature is usually high). 80% of patients had an underlying illness #legionella#legionnairesdisease#hongkong#legionellosis
