Hospital-East in Taylor Town and Hospital-West in Simon Town each employ about 500 persons. Last week, each hospital provided the workers and residents with a special dinner to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their incorporation. Five hundred meals were catered at each hospital, and water was the only beverage provided by both hospitals during the meals. Three days later, there is a massive outbreak of diarrhea, followed by a number of deaths (35) among the individuals who ate the meal and among five family members of staff who ate food that the staff members brought home from Hospital-East. Hospital-East reports that in addition, 115 workers called in sick complaining of stomach problems. No illnesses were reported at Hospital-West
