Mass legionnaires outbreak Victoria, health department won’t disclose sites.

Our great Victorian government will not disclose sites with infected cooling towers.

How would anyone now if they should get tested prior to symptoms displaying.

At least if the state disclosed sites you would know if you were in the risk area.

This stinks.

I take it a lot of people will be boiling the drinking water or that they mix with foodstuffs for a while.

Why won't they disclose the sites with infected cooling towers, and do they even know which ones are infected?

That’s a good question, the only thing I can think of is the funding for the department of health has pribably been slashed due to the 180 billion dollar debt Victoria is in.

And the dept of health should have programs in place for random testing of cooling towers for pathogens.

Though in my opinion they have missed the boat on this.

Though I wouldn’t be suprised if the sites were hospitals, hence why they won’t disclose the sites.

Victoria Australia is in severe financial dire straits.

There is no money for essential services.

Though if it’s a big project connected you the CFMNEU, labor is throwing at them

This is a union that has recent been caught in corrupt activities, closely Tied to Victoria’s labour government.

Plus the air conditioning workers on site sit on the roof four a few hours doing nothing, and claim work is done and getting paid for nothing.
