Yes, but infections are somewhat rare on healthy adults, at least based on a quick search around the net about the virus. If you have some underlying condition you’re more likely go get the infection in the first place and as your immune system is already weakened by something it’s going to be more dangerous.
They’re giving “did they die of it or with it?” vibes.
(actual thing I was asked about my father’s COVID-19 death. Apparently since he was immunocompromised his death didn’t ‘count’.)
Don’t put words in my mouth. I didn’t say anything about not needing to be concerned, I was just interested on what kind of virus they cooked in the datacenter-incubator and how that might affect on a general population. “Deadly bacteria”, while not incorrect, is a bit clickbait-y, as it doesn’t just kill everyone and their dogs.
Of course there are reasons to be concerned and Meta should absolutely throw boatloads of money to clean up their mess. I was just interested about the bacteria in general, where it came, how it works and so on, nothing more and nothing less. I’m across the big pond and in here environmental regulations actually work, so I personally am not the one who should get angry about the situation, but it doesn’t mean that no one should, even if I don’t explicitly say so.
If 30% of those that contract it die, it is quite a deadly bacteria. Very few bacterial infections are that deadly, and certainly any of them would be a serious public safety issue if there was a risk of exposure.
Did you read the article? While infections aren’t common, it has a ~31% death rate.

“Yes, but infections are somewhat rare on healthy adults, …”
So we only need be concerned when healthy adults are at risk?
This reasoning is unreasonable.
