Hint: Don't eat any raw, rare, or medium cooked ground beef.
'Well done or none' is the general rule.

I'm Canadian and ALL hamburgers are cooked to well-done up here, no matter where you order from or who cooks them.
Depends on the cut, ground sirloin > ground chuck
Not really. E coli is found on the outer layer of mass-killed beef meat so can be destroyed by "light" cooking. Grinding meat up mixes the E coli throughout so to destroy it you have to cook the meat completely.
In smaller abattoirs the contamination problems may not be so bad ... but there aren't many of those left.
