Atlanta-based U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), also a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), stated that all five of the sickened individuals, including the three who have died (60% mortality rate) were receiving treatment at the same Kansas hospital before developing the listeriosis, suggesting their infections with the Listeria bacteria were nosocomial (acquired, while eating the products, in the hospital). That might also help to explain the higher mortality rate in these cases (60%, versus the more normal 20%-30%): the people, who were all older (three of the five were women) were already hospitalized.[13][14][15]

HMMMM, the only people affected were those who were already patients in the same hospital. I’ll have a pint of triple chocolate please.

The CDC? Isn't that the outfit headed by hussien's "Lean Forward" stooge? You were still in Texas, eastforker, when the obola outbreak occurred and that CDC crony botched the whole thing. I just can't trust that outfit nor the HHS 'RAT bureaucrats.

That said, it's quite possible that the killer ice cream product was limited only to that Kansas hospital. Maybe Blue Bell is off the hook? I sure hope so since they're a Texas tradition.
