It sounds like Legionnaire's disease.

@Kitty Galore  Sounds good. By the way, there have been 9 mass shootings in Florida since January 1, 2019.

My son is going to Punta Cana for a destination wedding next month. Now I am not so thrilled. He was told by the wedding planner that all guests are requested to stay within the resort area and not go exploring elsewhere, so apparently it is not a safe island.

He was told this before all these deaths happened. I don't think I would have a destination wedding there. Off topic but I cannot believe how much money he is paying to go to said wedding! Ridiculous amount.

These are dangerous times.....

Thank our lucky stars for the advancements of modern medicine.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be as many living on earth right now.

And that's for sure.

Wishing all of the mentioned here well, with quick recoveries.

The account of the woman beaten and left for dead ,at a posh resort, doesn't give me any faith in their police either.

Or the safety of a posh resort, she said the assistant was wearing a resort uniform

I've been to Punta Cana numerous times and loved it. We stayed in hotels that were guarded by men with guns. There was a reason for this. Nothing bad happened at anytime while we were there. You had to use bottled water, delivered to your room daily, to even brush your teeth. I don't know about the water situation now, if they've built a water plant, etc. I would be interested to know if the water they used was from the fawcetts or bottled, though thinking back, we bathed in the island water. Ugh, now that I think of it.

@wishmoon Most resorts in the Caribbean have water filtration systems nowadays. I’ve never had any stomach issues in my travels. Whenever I see someone risking their toothbrush or mouth with bottled water, I always remind them that the drink they’re ordering from the bar has ice in it.
