New York City reports a grim milestone: five deaths from a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak, with 82 confirmed cases and eight still hospitalized. Bacteria found in 34 cooling towers across 33 buildings have been cleaned, and officials credit their swift action for saving lives. One victim, an 88-year-old Air Force veteran, died after a two-week battle with the illness. A lawsuit may follow once the responsible tower is identified. While treatable, Legionnaires’ disease kills about 10% of those infected. Thankfully, new cases are dropping — a hopeful sign the outbreak may be winding down.
