I do not wish to frighten anyone but just a warning to be careful.
Wife and I went to bali from perth 24-6 and back 4-7. Wife was sick about 5-6 days after return. Placed into an induced coma, intensive care in hospital for 11 days and another 7 before discharge and slowly recovering.
Legionairs disease takes 6-10 days to cause problems. Therefore in Bali or in aircraft on way home. Don't think it was at home but possible as anything is possible.
Legionairs can be caused by dirty aircon, potting mixes, stagnet water etc. the floating molecule is inhaled andf gets into the lungs.
