Legionnaires' Outbreak Claims Second Life in NYC | Savannah News

Legionnaires’ disease is back in New York City, with a grim second death reported and 72 infections confirmed on the Upper East Side. Caused by bacteria thriving in warm, stagnant water like cooling towers, the outbreak has prompted urgent cleanup orders. While officials haven’t pinpointed the source, new cases are dropping — a hopeful sign. This isn’t the first time NYC has faced this deadly pneumonia: last year’s Harlem outbreak sickened over 100 and killed seven. With a 10% fatality rate, this outbreak underscores why vigilance matters — even treatable diseases can be lethal.
