Issues and Alternative Disinfective Techniques in Sanitation: The Transmission Issue
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The small town of Williamson, West Virginia, the "Heart of the Billion Dollar Coal Field" according to the road sign that welcomes incoming visitors was in disarray on a warm, 30°C day in July, 1987. Why? Because a known "AIDS" victim had been swimming in the town pool. The pool manager, a high school teacher, immediately alerted the mayor of Williamson, whom also serves as the town pharmacist. Hearsay that "the AIDS victim" had open sores and was bleeding rectally prompted the mayor to order immediate closing. In the following days, the Williamson pool was drained and meticulously scrubbed. The reactionary response also prompted cleaning of the diving board, walkways, lounge chairs, and the locker room.
