E.coli. Not something to joke about. Already it seems 18 have died and around 1500 are infected. The common link appears to be that all the poor souls live in, or have travelled to, Germany. And initially a suggestion the infection came from Spain transported on the skins of Cucumbers. Well I'm not entirely sure that was the case. And having first been so assertive about it, the German authorities now appear to be revising their stance.
The infection is new according to the Robert Koch Institute ( thankfully one "k" and a "c" rather than two "c's" and a "k" ) and could well last for months. The Russians have banned all the stuff and Spain are now seeking compensation from the E.U ( N.B. not the German Government who seemed to have stoked things up for the rest of us ) . Ah.......happy times.
