The ongoing outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in New York City has now grown to 99 confirmed cases, with four deaths reported. Health officials have identified ten buildings tied to the outbreak, including Harlem Hospital and several city-run facilities, as sources of the bacterium. Residents in Harlem are expressing frustration over what they perceive as inadequate inspections and oversight during this health crisis, raising concerns about the future of public health as significant Medicaid cuts loom. City officials propose stronger regulations for cooling towers in light of the outbreak, which has sickened dozens and remains a serious public health threat.
