Either that or illegals bringing in some medieval disease long eradicated in the first world.

hmmmm bad article.... Cryptosporidium is a genus of protozoan, not a virus
It is not a long since eradicated disease; it's what infected ~400,000 people in the Milwaukee area in 1993.
It's also a tough bastard to filter, because it froms cysts that resist chemical filtration systems and can still slip about 1% of itself past conventional filtration systems
looks like San Jose has some filtration upgrades to make

Its hardly been eliminated in the first world.

As recently as 1993, 450,000 people in Milwaukee got sick with cryptosporidium.
