164 cases, that 6 per state, so the odds of getting it are about 1:3,000,000. Per the CDC, there are 70,000 cases of this particular strain of e-coli per year. 164 per week is actually an 85% DECREASE. Add in the fact that the germs are found in samples from 4 different farms, not from one particukar source, and what we have here is another scare scam from those same people who brought you the Swine Flu, Ebola, Bird Flu, all those other non-existant 'epidemics'. You might as well claim there is an epidemic of hair growth as shout about an epidemic of someting so common as e-coli.
