| Hello Jeff - As I mentioned on the program last week, the outbreak of
Cholera in Iraq will no doubt spread to Europe. Well, it sure looks
like a tourist from the Netherlands has picked up Cholera on holiday while
in Kos, a Greek Island. Europe has been Cholera free for many many decades, till now. Looks like disease outbreaks of nonendemic diseases will be the norm in Europe and the US and where ever the refugee illegals go. Patty Migrants accused of bringing CHOLERA to Kos as tourist struck down with disease GREEK health authorities have pointed the finger at refugees after a suspected cholera case was reported on Kos island. By Selina Sykes It is feared that the bacterial infection may have been brought in through the influx of migrants arriving on the Greek island, which has become a main entry point for those fleeing war-torn countries. An official from the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that a 79-year-old Dutch tourist with symptoms of cholera was transferred from Kos for tests and treatment in an Athens hospital. The patient was suffering from bad diarrhoea and high fever, but the diagnosis has not yet been confirmed. Cholera is extremely rare in Greece, with the last confirmed case reported in 1993, according to the World Health Organisation. The disease, which is most common in the Middle East, Africa and south-east Asia, is spread mainly through contaminated water and food. There are fears that a case may have been transmitted through the migratory wave A Greek health official Most heading for Greece take the relatively short voyage from Turkey to the islands of Kos, Chios, Lesvos and Samos - often in flimsy rubber dinghies and wooden boats. The small Greek islands have struggled to cope with the thousands of refugees arriving and have largely relied on volunteers. At least 350,000 migrants have arrived on European soil between January and August this year, compared to 280,000 for the whole of 2014. http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/609553/Migrant-crisis-cholera-Kos-island-refugees-Syria-Afghanistan-Europe |
