To be clear, “total coliforms” are not a group or kind of bacteria; coliforms are the gut bacteria that you find in poo, and a high “total coliforms” number in the water sample indicates there’s poo in there. Worrying that the Council spokesperson seems confused about this.

Apparently they couldn't even do a basic Google search??!!!
I suspect they didn't care and were happy to sell their souls for the promise of funding.
So gross.

🤦 Ventilation, crowding, and what people are doing in a space are not abstract ideas - they’re practical things we can change to reduce spread of airborne infections.
