This thread was deleted at the other site; not sure why as it contains some good info regarding legionnaires disease.
LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE - outbreak - HIGH probability from VALEMOUNT BC -Jan2012
JANUARY 7, 2012
We have been informed that our close friend Greg Thor has contacted LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE in Valemount BC
If anyone else has contracted this virus please add to this post and notify everyone that was at VALEMOUNT BC over the christmas hilodays to get checked
It may just seem like the flu for 3 or 4 days but you could be on life support in 7 days like Greg is now.
Link to Gregs original thread is
The most probable location is a HOT TUB, SAUNA or SPA while in Valemount over the Christmas Holidays
The Canadian Center for Disease Control has been notified and a vaccine/antidote has been shipped to Edmonton and is being administered ASAP.
Legionnaires Disease is a KILLER which originates from a mold spore and you breath it in, then it attacks you entire body from within.
It is not transmitted from People to People but from air bore mold spores that you breath in.
Signs are Vomiting with diarrhea the same as the flu but no signs of recovery
In Greg’s case the symptoms mimicked the flu for a few days but then got terribly worse and was hospitalized in about 4 days and on FULL life support in 7 days.
Greg is still in a medically induced coma with LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE on full life support systems
This has been confirmed by the University of Alberta Hospital and by the Canadian Center for Disease Control (CDC)
The CDC has shipped the vaccine/anti so
If you were in VALEMOUNT BC since the beginning of December to January and cannot shake the Flu symptoms you should see your doctor immediately as you may have been exposed to the Legionnaires spores.
“Most infections occur in those who are middle-age or older”

WIKIPEDIA
Legionellosis is a potentially fatal infectious disease caused by gram negative, aerobic bacteria belonging to the genus Legionella.[1][2] Over 90% of legionellosis cases are caused by Legionella pneumophila, a ubiquitous aquatic organism that thrives in temperatures between 25 and 45 °C (77 and 113 °F), with an optimum temperature of 35 °C (95 °F).[3]
Legionellosis takes two distinct forms:
Legionnaires' disease, also known as "Legion Fever",[4] is the more severe form of the infection and produces high fever and pneumonia.[5][6]
Pontiac fever is caused by the same bacteria but produces a milder respiratory illness without pneumonia that resembles acute influenza.[5] Pontiac fever also has a spontaneous resolution.
Legionnaires' disease acquired its name in July 1976 when an outbreak of pneumonia occurred among people attending a convention of the American Legion at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia. On January 18, 1977 the causative agent was identified as a previously unknown strain of bacteria, subsequently named Legionella. Some people can be infected with the Legionella bacteria and have only mild symptoms or no illness at all.
Outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease receive significant media attention. However, this disease usually occurs as single, isolated cases not associated with any recognized outbreak. When outbreaks do occur, they are usually in the summer and early autumn, though cases may occur at any time of year. The fatality rate of Legionnaires' disease has ranged from 5% to 30% during various outbreaks. "The death rate for patients who develop Legionnaire's disease while in the hospital is close to 50%, especially when antibiotics are started late," according to the NIH and U.S. National Library of Medicine service's MedlinePlus. Most infections occur in those who are middle-age or older.[7]
