E-coli not spread to people if meat is cooked!!!! Media scaring people from eating beef is wrong. More e-coli on lettuce and onions, which are not cooked before being put on burger! No bacteria survives cooking- so this whole thing is either people are eating raw hamburger meat, or it is a media farce!
