BBC:- "Legionnaires' disease in Stoke-on-Trent: Four more cases The HPA said it was continuing to work with the Health and Safety Executive, the NHS in Stoke and the City Council to try and find the source of the outbreak. It said the disease was not hospital related and it was safe for patients to attend." Anyone know where the suspected source is? www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-19019129 |

No idea, it could be anywhere, they need to log the peoples locations, homes, work places, where they traveled to, and look for a common source

I work for a firm who deals with this, legionnaire or legionella pneumophila is an airbourne virus and can be contracted via water droplets via cooling towers, showers or anything that creates a spray. All depends on temps, use (lack of) of water etc. sorry too bore you with that  |
