There is absolutely no risk to the public, and anyone who says otherwise is a racist.

“Deadly bacteria”, and “contamination remains unknown”. So naturally what follows is “no risk to the public”.

It's like the "We don't know who committed this attack but it wasn't terrorism" announcements whenever there is some multiple murder.

Because when you are dead, there is no risk.

The place is somewhat isolated but it’s surrounded by subdivisions, homes, and major retail areas all within a mile or so as the crow flies.

I live only about 6 miles away so this is troubling.

Considering this bacterium contaminates soil and water in areas where it is found, I would be concerned as well.

Diseases, mostly viruses. The Nigerians I have met aren’t bad, it’s that d@mned Kenyan in DC that is the problem.
