Question about he legionaries outbreak in the Bronx

Do you think it's safe to go to the Bronx zoo right now in light of the recent outbreak.
I know it's probably a stupid question.

It is airborne. It is from contaminated water being blown out of air conditioners.

Right. It's not something that is passed from person to person. its airborne in the sense that the mist from the cooling towers is breathed in. They decontaminated the cooling towers where it was coming from and said the new cases are diminishing, but I am neurotic and would wait it out a bit longer before going.
