I'm sure you are trying to warn people to prevent them getting sick too. However, your ignorance of the spread of viruses (sorry, not being insulting) may cause harm where it is not due.
There are so many ways viruses can be spread - not just in water. You also can get them by inhalation, injestion & other exchanges of body fluids we don't need to go into! Viruses have different incubation periods, too. It only takes one of you to have picked up a virus to pass it on to your friends, especially a virrulent one (look how outbreaks of gastro get around)! That person may have been exposed to a virus before you left, on the plane, handling money, eating/drinking at the same places, and yes - from a pool... the possible source of the exposure is endless!
However, without proof of the source you shouldn't be pointing the finger at The Bounty or Waterbom Park. Unsubstantiated rumour can cause damage to the reputation of these businesses & expose you to litigation for libel. Not your objective, I'm sure!
Cheers.
