School bus driver and newspaper carrier Harold Burch is on a lung ventilator.
A doctor with the Virginia Health Department says Burch began running a fever last week.
Two weeks ago an Alleghany County woman fell ill with Legionnaire's.
Her name hasn't been released - she is also on a lung ventilator.
It's unknown how either contracted their illnesses.
A doctor says the man and woman live just six blocks apart - but their families DON'T know each other.

If taxes and spending issues determine your vote - the choice for U-S Senator is as simple as deciding whether you want taxes cut - or the deficit cut.
But it gets complicated when you sift through the charges the candidates are hurling at one another.

taxes and spending in the race between Chuck Robb and George Allen.

[OUT Q=Qualls, News 7.]
(( The marriage penalty.
Some married couples in America pay more in taxes as a couple than they would filing as singles.
Chuck Robb's voted six times for Democratic bills to end the penalty.
He's voted seven times against Republican versions which would also have helped couples who aren't penalized now.
George Allen's ads only report the latter.
The death tax.
Robb's also voted to end federal inheritance taxes.
So really it's a dead issue.
Both guys are largely in agreement on those two taxes -- no matter what the ads say.
The gas tax.
[SOT STANDUP]
It's true.
Robb once proposed pumping up the federal gas tax 50 cents per gallon.
The extenuating circumstance was that it was 1993 and he was looking for ways to lessen dependence on foreign oil in the wake of the Gulf War.
[RUNS:00 ]
Robb says this is NOT true.
[sot 09:21:34]
((GEORGE ALLEN/R-U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE: I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT, IF HE WERE SOMEHOW RE-ELECTED, THAT HE WOULD PURSUE, AND IF THERE WERE ANY PROPOSALS, WHETHER IT WAS HIS OR OTHERS, THAT WOULD SUPPORT THIS MISGUIDED, PUNISHING LEGISLATION, NO MATTER WHAT HE'S SAYING RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION.))
[runs:13]
The car tax.
"No car tax" helped win Jim Gilmore the governor's office, and George Allen was right there supporting it, probably wishing he'd thought it up.
Those who criticize Allen's attempt as governor to cut school funding in '94 and '95 must admit it was to pay for tax cuts.
But on "no car tax," Chuck Robb thought it was bad fiscal policy.
In fairness, so did a number of Democratic and Republican politicians -- who didn't want the state cutting a local tax.
The truth is, Chuck Robb's made a choice.
Reduce the deficit in most instances, before giving any money back to the taxpayers.
Sometimes the sentiment falls flat, as it did six years ago, when he said he'd "take food from the mouths of widows and orphans if we had to begin to solve this deficit."
[SOT TAPE 94-8]
((CHUCK ROBB: I UNDERSTAND THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY COLD-HEARTED STATEMENT, BUT IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THERE ARE CHOICES THAT HAVE TO BE MADE.))
[RUNS:09 ]
So if you want a fiscal conservative -- is it a Senator who'll reliably vote to cut your taxes?
Or one of only two U-S Senators to make the bi-partisan Concord Coalition's Deficit Reduction Honor Roll every year it's been put out.
You make the choice November 7th.
