Vapor being release and sent to the atmosphere is a constant in southwestern Edinburgh. In this industrial corner of the city, it’s being an everyday reassuring 1 sight for decade, not now. Now it’s the prime suspect into the investigation 2 into what caused this outbreak of legionnaire disease. It had claimed one life before the Scottish government called what was effectively at a crisis meeting of health experts. In the news conference, they revealed the latest figures, they were up but there had been no more death.
Very much hope that we do not see anybody else lose their lives through the so big obviously ongoing 3 outbreak. The numbers of cases are continuing to increase, I would expect them to increase further.
Situated 4 in this part of Scotland’s capital as a home of Scottish rugby and hearts of football club, but there’s a cooling tower that is less unknown institutions attracting all the attention now. 16 cooling towers are being tested at four sites: the North British Distillery, Macfarlan Smith Chemical, AEGON, it logged inside Edinburg and Burton’s Biscuit factory. Most of the confirmed cases are in three areas of the city: Dalry, Saughton and Gorgie. So far one man has died and another 21 confirmed cases with 19 suspected cases.
It’s quite afraid, you know, it should really, you know specially 5, we’ve people dying of it, you don’t know where the sources coming from, what’s happened and what they’re doing about it ?
That’s quite bothered. It should be taken off injection as well, obviously these cooling towers are. That some dusky happened apart away.
As a track sound, when you walk and run about. It isn’t now. So you don’t know what we can talk about it
It’ different if it is another country you know like third world countries but here it shouldn’t happen in this country.
The majority of those who become infected on the streets are male. Those in hospital aged 6 between 30 and 90.
Tests on these cooling towers won’t produce results for several days and so there won’t be any confirmation 7 of a source for some time nor will it be a definitive 8 figure for those effective for several days because the occupation period of legionnaire disease, it can take days for someone to recognize the symptoms.
And so now for some time will they know here how cloud this could get .
