New York City Legionnaires' disease outbreak	Discussion
The New York City Legionnaires' disease outbreak refers to the first known cases of infection by Legionella pneumophila in New York City.	The source does not support the claim that the 2015 outbreak was the first known outbreak in NYC, and the claim is false. The language does mirror the language of pre-existing en.Wikipedia article, 1976 Philadelphia Legionnaires' disease outbreak, whose first sentence reads. "The 1976 Legionnaires Disease outbreak also known as Legion Fever, refers to the first known cases of infection by Legionella pneumophila in the United States."
Since the outbreak in 1976, that gave Legionnaires' disease its name, water-cooling towers have been identified as the primary breeding medium of the bacteria.	No source cited but it mirrors NYT 4 August 2015: "Since the outbreak that gave Legionnaires’ disease its name nearly four decades ago, water-cooling towers have been identified as prime breeding grounds for the deadly disease."
The legionella bacteria were discovered on July 31, 2015 at the Opera House Hotel in the Bronx.	True, but the source does not say this; it says, "Officials say the outbreak is centred on the area near the Opera House Hotel in the South Bronx." No mention of July 31. Not "at" but "near". No mention of the bacterium being found in the hotel.
The outbreak began on July 10, 2015 in the South Bronx, the poorest area of the boroughs of New York City. The disease outbreak was confirmed by the New York City health officials and Bill de Blasio, the New York Mayor.	The source says, "... the outbreak began on July 10 in the south Bronx, the poorest section of New York state."
The 2015 outbreak is the largest outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in the history of New York.	The source supports this: "... the worst outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in the city’s history."
On July 10, 2015, New York City confirmed its first cases of Legionnaires' disease. On August 3, 2015 the New York health officials reported that over 80 people were diagnosed of the bacteria infection. Out of the 64 people hospitalized, 28 people were treated and discharged.	The source doesn't mention July 10, but the date is repeated earlier in the article and supported by a source. The source supports the remainder of the paragraph; it says: "Health officials presented updated figures on Monday at a public town hall meeting. They said there have been more than 80 reported diagnoses. Of the 64 people hospitalized with the disease, 28 have been discharged."
On August 4, 2015, seven people were reported dead from the deadly disease. On August 8, 2015 about 57 buildings with cooling towers were disinfected and 42 other buildings were inspected and disinfected on August 9, 2015 as a measure to curtail the deadly bacteria.	True[1] but not supported by the source.

On August 10, 2015, twelve people were reported dead from the outbreak with over 94 people admitted in the hospital.	Unsourced. The last source (NBC New York) confirms 12 dead on August 10 but I can't find support for 94 hospitalized by August 10.
By August 11, 2015, over 100 people had been diagnosed with the disease.	The source supports this: "The total number of people suffering from the disease in the South Bronx, where the current outbreak began, has reached 114..."
