"At one in the morning, on Saturday morning, I could hear Dan get up to use the restroom. As he's walking past our bed, I can hear he has difficulty breathing. And I realized, 'Oh, my goodness, if I don't call 911, there's only two of us here,'" Rita recalled. "He's not capable of calling 911. We need help."
Rita, a nurse, was hospitalized for five days. Dan spent nine days in the hospital, with four on a ventilator."People kept saying, 'I know he's testing negative for. It's gotta be COVID. These are COVID lungs. These are COVID lungs,'" Rita remembered. "And in fact, it's not. It's bacteria from the Legionellosis. And it's bacteria that just grows in your lungs.
"After receiving a complaint regarding a possible exposure to Legionella at the Aloft San Jose Cupertino pool and spa areas, DEH immediately launched an investigation. DEH inspected the pool and spa areas, which are the areas permitted by DEH.
