D, I always thought I know a decent amount about random stuff and how it works. You constantly pull things out of the air. Are you a fricking Encyclopedia?

Was in the 70's that they discovered and named it, but they also accounted it for an outbreak in the 20's that at the time they had no idea what caused it. In 1977 legionnaires were having a convention and the cooling system in the building infected them, thus they named the disease Legionnaires Disease.
