Legionella quick Dig- anon says take your colloidal silver!

 

This is a list of Legionnaires' disease outbreaks; Legionnaire's is a potentially fatal infectious disease caused by gram negative, aerobic bacteria belonging to the genus Legionella.[1][2] The first reported outbreak was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1976 during a Legionnaires Convention at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel.[3]

 

Almost all natural water sources contain Legionella and their presence should not be taken as an indication of a problem

 

( Indoor ornamental fountains have been confirmed as a cause of Legionnaires' disease outbreaks, in which submerged lighting as a heat source was attributed to the outbreak in all documented cases.

Legionella bacteria themselves can be inactivated by UV light. However, Legionella bacteria that grow and reproduce in amoebae or that are sheltered in corrosion particles cannot be killed by UV light alone.[citation needed]

 

Legionella will grow in water at temperatures from 20 to 50 °C (68 to 122 °F). However, the bacteria reproduce at the greatest rate in stagnant water at temperatures of 35 to 46 °C (95 to 115 °F).[citation needed]

 

Copper-Silver ionization is an effective industrial control and prevention process to eradicate Legionella in potable water distribution systems and cooling towers found in health facilities, hotels, nursing homes and most large buildings.'''

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Legionnaires%27_disease_outbreaks

 

Legionnaires’ disease and Pontiac fever outbreaks occur when two or more people are exposed to Legionella in the same place and get sick at about the same time. People can get Legionnaires’ disease or Pontiac fever when they breathe in a mist (small droplets of water in the air) that contains Legionella.

 

Outbreaks are commonly associated with buildings or structures that have complex water systems, like hotels and resorts, long-term care facilities, hospitals, and cruise ships. The most likely sources of infection include water used for showering, hot tubs, decorative fountains, and cooling towers (structures that contain water and a fan as part of centralized air cooling systems for a building or industrial processes).

 

Legionnaires’ disease and Pontiac fever outbreaks can be difficult to identify. Sometimes people travel to a common location, are exposed to Legionella, and then return home before becoming sick. State and local health departments take the lead in investigating outbreaks. They also implement control measures to remove Legionella from the water identified as the source of infection. CDC is only involved in outbreak investigations when a health department requests additional assistance. State and local health departments are the best source of information for a specific outbreak.

Overview: Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia — lung inflammation usually caused by infection. It's caused by a bacterium known as legionella.

 

Most people catch Legionnaires' disease by inhaling the bacteria from water or soil.

 

The legionella bacterium also causes Pontiac fever, a milder illness resembling the flu. Pontiac fever usually clears on its own, but untreated Legionnaires' disease can be fatal. Although prompt treatment with antibiotics usually cures Legionnaires' disease, some people continue to have problems after treatment.

Diagnosis

 

Legionnaires' disease is similar to other types of pneumonia. To help identify the presence of legionella bacteria quickly, your doctor might use a test that checks your urine for legionella antigens — foreign substances that trigger an immune system response. Other tests might include:

 

Blood and urine tests

Chest X-ray, which doesn't confirm Legionnaires' disease but can show the extent of infection in your lungs

Tests on a sample of your sputum or lung tissue

 

Treatment

 

Legionnaires' disease is treated with antibiotics. The sooner therapy is started, the less likely the chance of developing serious complications. In many cases, treatment requires hospitalization. Pontiac fever goes away on its own without treatment and causes no lingering problems.

lb notable >>10797012 Revlimid is a case study in a process known as “evergreening” — artificially sustaining a monopoly for years and even decades by manipulating intellectual property laws and regulations.

 

the secret pharm rebates that potus addressed was protected by HRC (and she no doubt had a piece, and BC prolly enabled/protected it

i guess it was similar effect to standard oil and RR shipping rebate scams that the SC put a stop to when they broke up S.O., however it is a accepted biz practice today with alot of companies like pepsi, coke, and consumer merch, whereby they set a real high list price and give volume discounts to big sellers. So small guys pay alot moar than the big guys.

Prevention of Legionella in water systems

 

CDC- Guidance for Reopening Buildings After Prolonged Shutdown or Reduced Operation

The temporary shutdown or reduced operation of a building and reductions in normal water use can create hazards for returning occupants. Check for hazards before reopening after a prolonged period of building inactivity. Hazards include mold, Legionella (the cause of Legionnaires’ disease), and lead and copper contaminationpdf iconexternal icon from corroded plumbing.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/building-water-system.html

 

Using temperature control: (Health and Safety Executive)

The primary method used to control the risk from Legionella is water temperature control.

Water services should be operated at temperatures that prevent Legionella growth:

 

Hot water storage cylinders (calorifiers) should store water at 60°C or higher

Hot water should be distributed at 50°C or higher (thermostatic mixer valves need to be fitted as close as possible to outlets, where a scald risk is identified).

Cold water should be stored and distributed below 20°C.

 

You must identify ‘sentinel’ outlets (furthest and closest to each tank or cylinder) for monthly checking of the distribution temperatures. You should also check the hot water storage cylinder temperatures every month and cold water tank temperatures at least every six months.

 

Stagnant water favours Legionella growth. To reduce the risk you should remove dead legs/dead ends in pipe-work, flush out infrequently used outlets (including showerheads and taps) at least weekly and clean and de-scale shower heads and hoses at least quarterly. Cold-water storage tanks should be cleaned periodically and water should be drained from hot water cylinders to check for debris or signs of corrosion.

 

Design systems to minimise Legionella growth, by:

keeping pipe work as short and direct as possible;

adequately insulating pipes and tanks;

using materials that do not encourage the growth of Legionella;

preventing contamination, eg by fitting tanks with lids and insect screens.

 

Other methods to control Legionella include copper and silver ionisation and biocide treatments (eg chlorine dioxide). To ensure that they remain effective their application will need suitable assessment as part of the overall water treatment programme including proper installation, maintenance and monitoring.

Prevention 9 in 10 CDC investigations show almost all outbreaks were caused by problems preventable with Water Management Programs- CDC

Instead, the key to preventing Legionnaires’ disease is to make sure that building owners and managers maintain building water systems in order to reduce the risk of Legionella growth and spread. Examples of building water systems that might grow and spread Legionella include:

 

Hot tubs

Hot water tanks and heaters

Large plumbing systems

Cooling towers (structures that contain water and a fan as part of centralized air cooling systems for building or industrial processes)

Decorative fountains

 

Legionella grows best in warm water, like the water temperatures used in hot tubs. However, warm temperatures also make it hard to keep disinfectants, such as chlorine, at the levels needed to kill germs like Legionella. Disinfectant and other chemical levels in hot tubs should be checked regularly and hot tubs should be cleaned as recommended by the manufacturer. Learn how you can test the water before you use a hot tub and questions you should ask your hot tub operator to determine whether or not a hot tub has been properly maintained:

OSHA Archive- Section III: Chapter 7 Legionnaires' Disease

This chapter provides information to assist industrial hygienists in the assessment of work sites for potential Legionnaires' disease. It provides information on disease recognition, investigation procedures to identify probable water sources, and control strategies. The primary focus of this document is on the control and prevention of contaminated water sources,

Just the Facts: Legionella and Water Supply Systems

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has acknowledged that opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens (OPPPs) are the primary cause of waterborne disease in the United States.¹ Legionella pneumophila, one type of OPPP, can develop in water supply systems and result in Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia. About 5,000 cases of Legionnaires’ disease are reported each year in the U.S., according to the CDC.²

Mail in Voting Boomerang???

WE TOLD YOU SO: Democrats Are Making a U-Turn on Mail-In Voting

 

Democrats used COVID-19 as a pretext to try and change the way America votes. In fact, mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and other various and sundry election law changes were part of the reason Democrats refused to debate a narrow COVID relief bill. Because Republicans wouldn’t agree to give up every election security feature we have, you and your family couldn’t get your unemployment benefits extended, schools lost money, and small business owners were left without assistance.

 

To block the bill, Democrats used the filibuster, which Barack Obama called a Jim Crow relic during the Democrat National Convention. However, we will leave that blatant hypocrisy for another time. It is becoming exceedingly clear that Democrats intend to use whatever tools they can to gain power and retain it. Burning down our institutional norms and any semblance of consensus is their obvious goal.

 

Mail-in voting was a part of this power grab. By drawing out election results, they could gin up their base and keep them irrational and violent. They have been so kind as to warn us that the only outcome that does not lead to violence in the streets is a Joe Biden landslide. It is a blatant and disgusting attempt to extort your vote.

 

Asking people to vote as soon as possible — preferably before the first debate, where there is a risk Joe Biden will mentally collapse — appears to be the only part of the strategy they are hanging onto. Given his angry reaction to being questioned on son Hunter’s activities in Ukraine and elsewhere, if President Trump mentions it, the presidential debate may look more like a WWE event.

 

That is, if there even are debates. Today is Joe Biden’s ninth press lid before noon in September, which could be motivating the vote-early strategy. Only six days left to affect the before-the-debates vote, in the event they are canceled.

 

However, now they want you to vote in person. Take your mail-in ballot to the board of elections to ensure it is counted or go to the polls. This is the exact opposite of the Democrats’ previous narrative—that in-person voting would be unsafe due to COVID-19.

 

Perhaps they finally figured out that mail-in voting puts them at a distinct disadvantage. Democrats and their allies in the media had successfully scared their own voters into voting by mail, but not President Trump’s. According to USA Today:

 

Thirty-seven percent of registered voters said they are likely to vote by mail in the November election, by receiving a mailed ballot and either mailing it back or returning it in person, according to a new survey released Tuesday by the Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape project.

 

Among them, 48% of voters who plan to vote for Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden said they are likely to vote by mail, according to the survey. That’s more than twice the 23% of voters backing President Donald Trump who said they are likely to vote by mail

 

This statistic is likely what Hawkfish based its analysis on. The Bloomberg-funded firm said it would look like Trump won on election night, but mail-in votes would come in at a rate of more than two to one for Biden as they were counted. However, there are a few flaws in that analysis. Axios points out:

 

A fresh Pennsylvania state Supreme Court ruling that requires ballots without the inner security envelope be discarded could affect tens of thousands of votes in that swing state.

 

In Florida, voters are twice as likely to have their absentee ballot rejected if they’ve never voted that way before, University of Florida political science professor Dan Smith told Axios.

 

In North Carolina, “Black voters’ ballots are being rejected at more than four times the rate of white voters,” per FiveThirtyEight. Overall, data shows new, younger, black, and Hispanic voters are more likely to have their ballots rejected.

 

More than 550k mail-in ballots were rejected during the presidential primaries this year, per an NPR analysis.

 

That is not all. One election in Paterson, New Jersey, was thrown out due to mail-in voting and suspected fraud. There was also a 20% voter disenfranchisement rate in the party’s own primary in Queens, New York. In Georgia, the secretary of state is also investigating 1,000 ballots alleging that people voted twice. None of this should be a surprise since an analysis of mail-in voting between 2012 and 2018 showed that a one-in-five rejection rate is pretty consistent.
