Notability? edit
Hey guys! I'm a bit concerned that this outbreak may not be notable, or at least we don't know yet it if it's notable. Do outbreaks of a similar size have their own pages? The E coli page only references 2011_Germany_E._coli_O104:H4_outbreak which is truly an infamous outbreak, with thousands infected and dozens killed. According the one of the sources for this article, we are at 19 infected with the outbreak this article refers to. Somewhat smaller than the EHEC outbreak currently plaguing Chipotle in the northwest, Minn, NY, et al. heres a CDC update from last week. Anyway, something to think about. Let me know what your thoughts are. If we want to keep the article, I'm happy to add to it. It's a bit sparse now.

But perhaps there's a List of E. coli outbreaks article? If not, we could make one and start filling it out? Like I said, I'm happy to help.Ajpolino (talk) 01:44, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
