Holy crap, I'm freaking out because someone in my job has contracted this disease. It's not passed from person to person. It's an airborne disease and now the top officials in our building have sent to get our cooling tower tested to see if it's positive for Legionnaires disease. Oh how I pray that test comes out negative. It's freaking scary for someone to get that. It can eventually lead to lung failure causing death. Now they have to wait 2 weeks to get the results back. That's a long time to wait. I really don't want to walk into that building until they get the results. Uuuggh! I feel like they don't care about us and want us to work in there regardless. By that time, more people can get sick if in fact our building was the source of my co-workers sickness. If it wasn't that I really need a job and the money I would quit but I guess I have to stick through it. So they say, they have already contacted our local and state health department to notify them of the issue. I hope the state can make them shut the building down at least until this nightmare is over. There are too many lives at stake in this place. Well that's my story of the day. I'm hoping for the best for our building and also hoping that my co-worker recovers soon.
