“ #Toronto Public Health (TPH) is investigating an outbreak of #Legionnaires’ disease in an approximately one-kilometre radius of the intersection of Bathurst Street and Dupont Street.
To date, six confirmed cases have been identified among people who live, work or have visited the area. The individuals became symptomatic between Thursday, July 2 and Sunday, July 26.
Legionnaires’ disease does not spread from person to person, and the risk to the public remains low.” -
"New York City’s famed Solomon R Guggenheim Museum was among a number of Manhattan buildings that recently tested positive for the bacteria that causes legionnaires’ disease.
The city health department on Friday released a list of 31 buildings on the Upper East Side that have been ordered to clean and disinfect their cooling towers as the city deals with the latest outbreak of the disease, which is a serious form of pneumonia."

Domestic Hot Water (#DHW) periodic #pasteurisation of storage to prevent #Legionnaires' disease is hard to do with a heat pump (getting up to ~60C), so I do something a bit differerent:

When there is sufficient sunshine the system is set up to automagically do it a bit less than weekly by direct diversion from PV; in winter once or twice a month from the #grid when #carbonIntensity is low...

What to know about #Legionnaires' disease, which has sickened dozens in #NYC
An outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in NYC has killed 2 people & sickened 58 since late July.
City #health officials link the Central #Harlem outbreak to #CoolingTowers, structures containing water & a fan that are used to cool buildings. They said 11 of these towers initially tested positive for a type of #bacteria that causes Legionnaires’, but the problem has been remedied.

The NYC #Legionnaires outbreak has grown to 22 cases, with 1 death. Cases have been reported in Central Harlem (ZIP codes 10027, 10030, 10035, 10037 & 10039) & bordering communities. Sounds like cooling towers (multiple?) may be the source??? https://www.nyc.gov/site/doh/about/press/pr2025/nyc-health-provides-update-on-legionnaires-cluster.page

As #Flint struggled with #WaterQuality, it also saw an outbreak of #Legionnaires' disease, leading to the #deaths of at least 12 people & sickening dozens more.
Today, the #EPA states 97% of #lead service lines have been replaced, although last year a federal judge held the city of Flint in #contempt over taking too long to replace some remaining lead pipes.

Card 102: Kid Quantum
Another tough power to render, though the "colorful stasis field" could have been something.
Good use of the Legion logo on the last Legionnaires card.
-
Card 101: Catspaw
Every team needs a cat person.
The top down, slightly-angled perspective here makes the card really dynamic.
-
Card 100: Dragonmage
I legit don't know much about this character, but I like this moody, atmospheric card.
-
Card 099: Computo
The circuitry backdrop is reminiscent of Iron Man's MU series 2 card.
Nice to see a "Legionnaire" who isn't a duplicate of an older LSH character.
-
Card 098: Ferro
Well, now they're not even trying, just dropping the "Lad" off his original name. Good card though.
-
Card 097: Gossamer
Gossamer is a terribly generic codename, especially when "LIGHTENING Lass" is right there, to make a punny distinction between her old powers (and her brother's), and her newer density-based ones.
-
Card 096: Alchemist
Pearson is almost Bachalo-esque here, though what Alchemist is actually doing gets a little lost (alchemy is a tough power to render via trading card).
-
Card 095: Matter Eater Lad
Is there a better name in all of comics than, "Matter Eater Lad?" Discuss.
-
Card 094: Ultra Boy
Jo Nah swallowed by a space whale. Never change, Legion, never change.
The whole "one power at a time" thing is such a clever conceit for a superpower.
-
Card 093: Brainiac 5
What a fantastic facial expression of annoyance & disdain.
At first glance of the cardback image, I wondered why Ikaris of the Eternals was on the card.
-
Card 092: Andromeda
AKA Substitute Supergirl.
A very Adam Hughes card.
-
Card 091: Inferno
"Dirk Morgna" is another real name all-timer.
Chris Sprouse? Good at facial expressions.
-
Card 090: Shrinking Violet
Seriously, these Legion cards continue to be bangers.
"Shrinking Violet" is one of my favorites of the "updated" Legion codenames.
