Clarification

Untitled

I added the more information on Legionnaires disease in the Lead section in order to add further clarification of what the disease is and how it is caused. I removed "in the Lincoln Hospital and Concourse Plaza Cooling Towers" and reworded to clarify the area in which the outbreak occurred. I also removed "As of August 4, 2015^[update], the outbreak is believed to have been contained to five buildings in Morrisania, Bronx." in order to add some updated information to this section about when the outbreak was declared over. Added picture of legionella bacteria. I also added section "September 2015" to include info about recent unrelated outbreaks in the same area, as well as a link to the comprehensive list of Legionnaires Disease Outbreaks. I included references with all of my additional information. Brittnicole97 (talk) 01:55, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
