  1. 8 News Now (Las Vegas): 2 Legionnaires’ disease cases linked to Las Vegas Strip hotel

    "...LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Southern Nevada Health District announced on Tuesday that two cases of Legionnaires’ disease were associated with stays at the Wynn Las Vegas, and guests who have stayed at the resort recently are urged to complete a health survey. ..."

  2. 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:

    earth.org.uk/eddi-diverter-dat

    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...

  3. #USA, #Iowa HHS Announces #Investigation of #Legionnaires’ Disease #Cluster in Marshalltown, hhs.iowa.gov/news-release/2025

    Since the beginning of the investigation, 21 individuals have been diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease and an older adult with underlying health conditions has died.

  4. 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.

  5. 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??? nyc.gov/site/doh/about/press/p

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  8. Card 101: Catspaw

    Every team needs a cat person.

    The top down, slightly-angled perspective here makes the card really dynamic.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  9. Card 100: Dragonmage

    I legit don't know much about this character, but I like this moody, atmospheric card.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  10. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  11. Card 098: Ferro

    Well, now they're not even trying, just dropping the "Lad" off his original name. Good card though.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  12. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  13. 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).

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  14. Card 095: Matter Eater Lad

    Is there a better name in all of comics than, "Matter Eater Lad?" Discuss.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  15. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  16. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  17. Card 091: Inferno

    "Dirk Morgna" is another real name all-timer.

    Chris Sprouse? Good at facial expressions.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  18. Card 090: Shrinking Violet

    Seriously, these Legion cards continue to be bangers.

    "Shrinking Violet" is one of my favorites of the "updated" Legion codenames.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  19. Card 089: Leviathan

    Once again, a great mix of "showing off the power" and characterization in the cardfront image.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  20. Card 088: Invisible Kid

    Okay, now this is a cool-ass card and a great way to depict an especially tricky trading card power.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  21. Card 087: Chameleon

    For whatever reason, dropping the "Boy" bothers me less w/Chameleon.

    Starting to think this set is underrated for its ability to depict less trading card-friendly powers like shapeshifting well.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  22. Card 086: Triad

    Another card where the story threatens to overwhelm the spotlight character, with the antagonist dwarfing the hero(es).

  23. Card 085: Apparition

    Fun to see Adam Hughes trading card art, though this one makes Phantom Girl seem like a table dancer.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #Legionnaires

  24. Earlier today, I posted about the tragic death of an #AsylumSeeker who was 'housed' in Manston Airport. He passed away because of a #diptheria outbreak at that unhygienic place

    An hour ago, I learnt that ALL 38 asylum seekers are to be taken off the #BibbyStockholm because of a substantial #Legionnaires outbreak.

    Humans are not supposed to live like this.

    We are neither commodities nor packages.

    I truly hate the bastards that do this.

  25. Time for more comic book art! Here's a picture of Spark from the reboot Legion of Super Heroes drawn by Jeff Moy!
