Episode Details

Legionnaires’ disease is hitting the Upper East Side hard—with 28 confirmed cases, 21 hospitalized, and zero deaths so far. The city’s rolling out aggressive transparency, releasing addresses of buildings with positive cooling tower tests to help residents protect themselves. This pneumonia, caused by inhaling contaminated water mist, doesn’t spread person-to-person—but it’s especially dangerous for those over 50, smokers, or with underlying health issues. Health officials are testing cooling towers at an unprecedented rate since July 2nd, racing to find and fix contamination sources. Rest assured: air conditioning and tap water remain safe—the mist stays outside. Stay alert, know the symptoms (fever, chills, cough), and heed official alerts.
