Legionella in Water at Joint Base San Antonio Medical Barracks After Weeks of Failed Cleanup Efforts

A bacteria that can cause pneumonia is still being detected in the medical barracks at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, despite weeks of efforts to sanitize the area.

In late September, base officials said that 150 residents and staff at Liberty Barracks, where service members who are patients at the nearby medical center are housed, were being moved to other parts of the installation after Legionella bacteria was discovered during routine water testing.

The building has since been treated with a "super-chlorination process," Rob Strain, a spokesman for the base, told Military.com last month. But subsequent testing after the procedure showed the bacteria may still be present.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It makes me wonder why the military was so concerned about COVID when they've had long term health problems with barracks rotting, fighter pilots getting cancer at a higher rate, water problems at Hawaii, Camp Lejeune, on aircraft carriers, etc., and have done little about them. :shrug:
