There’s generally less than a dozen cases a year, and this year it’s up to 2 dozen.

Where did you get your number?

"Cryptosporidiosis, a gastrointestinal illness caused by protozoa of the genus Cryptosporidium, is a major source of human illness and was the leading cause of all waterborne outbreaks in the United States during 2001–2010 (1). An estimated 748,000 cryptosporidiosis cases occur annually (2), although less than 2% are reported (3). Hospitalizations resulting from cryptosporidiosis cost an estimated $45.8 million per year (4)."

That’s a fine proof of there are lies damned lies and statistics. It says they get 9000 cases reported (some confirmed, some not), and then they just decide there are a whole bunch more that never get reported so therefore 748,000. Meanwhile http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3554271/posts there’s a couple of dozen outbreaks a year and the panic on this is absurd at best.
