CALDWELL PARISH, La. (KNOE) - Hospital officials in Columbia say they're working with the Louisiana Office of Public Health to figure out what might have caused the death of one person and what caused nearly 200 people to get sick around the same time.
MGN Online
Caldwell Parish Sheriff Clay Bennet, who believes he also has the virus, said hundreds of people started getting sick around the same time Monday evening.
Sherry Varner has been going to the Citizens Medical Center to check on her daughter for the past two days.
"She felt like she had been hit by a train is what she said," Varner said.
The Louisiana Department of Health is still trying to figure out where this virus came from. Though, many people in Columbia believe it comes from a pot of jambalaya they ate this week at a softball event.
"She’s pretty sure she knows where it came from," Varner said.
Bennett also said his office is investigating the death of a man who complained he had the same symptoms. It hasn’t been confirmed if any of this is connected, but LDH is working to figure that out.

You just can't keep Jambalaya out for too long
Investigation is ongoing, but my bet is that someone handling food did not wash their hands well after going to bathroom

He must've had some real messed up hands to make 200 people sick

Not really. Said person could be serving the plates with a spoon that goes into the pot thus leading to a shite ton of contaminated food. Horrible

Just my guess, but if he was the guy mixing the salad and dressing, or putting the slice of bread in each box it is plausible
seems a lot of people are saying it could be from under cooked rice...I never knew that would cause salmonella but I learn something everyday

I’m betting whomever cooked the jambalaya wants to get the hell out of Columbia asap.

He obviously went heavy on the salmonella. Think of the lives that could have been saved if he had only used the calculator.

In the video, why do they keep jumping back and forth calling it a virus in one sentence and bacteria in the next. If it's from food left out too long, it's more likely to be bacteria I would think. If it's a virus, that would probably be from contamination, right?

Probably haven't figured it out yet. Growing whatever it is in dishes right now.

What's the deal with this calculator? I've seen 4 references to it in the past hour or so.

They probably put tomatoes in it

It allows anyone to crank out a passable 50 gallon jambalaya on their first try.
It allows old timers to experiment without running the risk of ruining a huge pot.
I now basically run 25% veg, 35% rice, and 40% meat. Just kept playing with it.

That's a lot of people.
Wonder if it was in the food itself resulting from the initial ingredients or under cooking something, although under cooking jambalaya would be tough.
