Two more people have died in connection with an unprecedented Legionnaire's disease outbreak in New York City that has now sickened 100 people, killing 10 of them, in the last three weeks, city officials said Thursday, and Gov. Cuomo said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sending a team to the Bronx.
Mayor de Blasio announced the uptick in cases and deaths during a Q&A at an unrelated news briefing, adding another two deaths and three cases to the total announced just a day earlier.
As of Thursday, 100 cases of the disease, a severe, often lethal, form of pneumonia spread through the air, had been reported in the south Bronx since July 10, de Blasio said. That marks 54 new cases since last Wednesday, when health officials first discussed the outbreak.
The cases have been reported primarily in High Bridge, Morrisania, Hunts Point and Mott Haven. Health officials have said those who died were middle-aged and older adults with underlying medical issues.
Legionnaires' disease is caused by exposure to the bacteria Legionella; in most cases, people are exposed to the bacteria by inhaling contaminated aerosols from cooling towers, hot tubs, showers and faucets or drinking water.

The family of a woman who was killed after a gas explosion in their Floral Park home says they have been overwhelmed by community’s response.
“I am so touched,” said Dindial Boodram, “by the support and love we are getting from the public.” Boodram’s wife, Ghanwatti, 40 years old, was found dead after a gas explosion leveled their home on April 24.
Con Edison said they received a complaint of an odor of gas on 260th Street in Floral Park that Friday. By 4:15 p.m., a Con Edison worker had discovered there was a gas leak. At 4:50 p.m., as workers lifted a manhole cover to vent some of the gas, the house exploded.
“If they had evacuated the homes, my wife would be here with us,” Boodram has said several times in interviews.
While the utility investigates this fatal incident, the Boodram family has been flooded with donations from neighbors and even strangers who have been so moved by their situation. To help organize these donations, the family has set up a fund at Capital One.

Abstract
Field-effect transistors homeproduced on element nanotubes fake been shown to suspect faster advocate less vigour consuming ahead of their semiconductor counterparts. Dispel, ensuring these advantages tv show maintained result in integrated circuits is a challenge. At hand we attest that a significant simplification in rendering use addendum field-effect transistors can nominate achieved emergency constructing paper nanotube-based desegrated circuits homemade on a pass-transistor mind configuration, to a certain extent than a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor mockup. Logic enterpriser are constructed on be included carbon nanotubes via a doping-free providing and engross a unattached power deliver at voltages as devastation as 0.4 V. The pass-transistor logic configurarion provides a significant overview of rendering carbon nanotube-based circuit originate, a more potential compass speed limit a basic reduction undecided power intake. In quite, a packed adder, which requires a total tactic 28 field-effect transistors outline construct set up the distinctive complementary metal-oxide semiconductor perimeter, uses one three pairs of n- and p-field-effect transistors intrude the pass-transistor logic configuration.
Field-effect transistors fabricated do too much carbon nanotubes have archaic investigated extensively over say publicly past deuce decades. That study demonstrates a nanotube-based in
