Why not wait until facts are presented before pointing the finger? Walmart closed their store and is undertaking cleaning and sanitizing their cooling tower. The store is now open but isn't selling any food products that need to be frozen or require refrigeration until the towers have passed inspection.

Surrey, BC – Health officers are targeting the Guildford Mall cooling towers as the most likely source of an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease which has landed seven people in hospital.

Dr. Aamir Bharmal, Fraser Health medical officer, told Vancouverite that several cooling towers at Guildford Mall need to be sanitized. But it’s up to the Mall how they do it and they can decide the sections of the mall they need to shut down to carry out the cleaning.
