One person dead, 25 others sick in Colorado from E.coli outbreak linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder

https://coloradosun.com/2024/10/22/ecoli-outbreak-colorado-mcdonalds/

"One person in Colorado has died and 25 others were sickened from an E. coli outbreak that federal officials are linking to McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers.

“This is a fast-moving outbreak investigation,” the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention said in an update posted on its website Tuesday. “Most sick people are reporting eating Quarter Pounder hamburgers from McDonald’s and investigators are working quickly to confirm which food ingredient is contaminated.”

The outbreak has been tracked among people across the country — 49 people in 10 states — but the highest number of infected people are in Colorado, where an older adult died, officials said.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said Tuesday it is coordinating with the CDC in its investigation."

All entities that deal with this kind of problem will be eliminated when the traitor takes over by force, unless we somehow prevent that.

states that they have not identified the locations yet.

Local news at noon also did not identify the locations.

They do, now, believe that onions were the source.
