Mideast migrants bringing 'exotic' diseases to Europe; German hospitals overwhelmed

I can easily see this happening since people from south of our border bring up diseases since sanitation isn't the best down there. The countries that these refugees and migrants are coming from are in the same situation.

Was accepting refugees from strife-torn areas in the Middle East a bad decision for Germany?

After being welcomed by the European nation, tens of thousands of migrants are bringing not just diseases but also chaos to Germany, according to a shocking letter written by a female Czech anaesthetist currently working in a German hospital, the Daily Express reported.



The letter, sent and read on the Czech television channel CNTV, described how the asylum-seekers are supposedly overwhelming and causing problems to the German health service.

"Clinics cannot handle emergencies, so they are starting to send everything to the hospitals," the female medical worker, who wished to remain anonymous, said in her letter as quoted in the Daily Express.

She said German hospitals can no longer cope with diseases carried by the refugees from the Middle East, since the illnesses have long been eradicated in Europe.

After 1 million migrants, Europe's borders are back
Jan 3,`16 -- Since it opened in 2000, the Oresund bridge between Sweden and Denmark has been a towering symbol of European integration and hassle-free travel across borders that people didn't even notice were there.

On Monday new travel restrictions imposed by Sweden to stem a record flow of migrants are transforming the bridge into a striking example of how national boundaries are re-emerging. A year of clampdowns on migration and terrorism has all but killed the idea of a borderless Europe where you could drive or train-hop from Spain in the south to Norway in the north without ever having to show your passport. "We're turning back the clock," said Andreas Onnerfors, who lives in Lund, on the Swedish side of the bridge. An associate professor in intellectual history, he said he's benefited from the free flow of people and ideas across the bridge - he's studied on both sides and taught students from both Sweden and Denmark. "We're going back to a time when the bridge didn't exist," he said, referring to the ID checkpoints being set up Monday on the Danish side for train passengers wishing to cross over to Sweden.

The move is meant to stop undocumented migrants from reaching Sweden, which abruptly reversed its open-door policy after receiving more than 160,000 asylum-seekers last year, mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. It follows the reintroduction of border checks in Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and other countries in what's supposed to be a passport-free travel zone spanning 26 nations. The moves are supposedly temporary, but are likely to be extended if Europe's migrant crisis continues in 2016. "It's basically every country for itself now," said Mark Rhinard, an expert on the European Union at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs.

Citing exceptional national circumstances related to security, terrorism and public order, several European countries have suspended EU rules that required them to keep their borders open to each other. It's a significant development that strikes at the very heart of the EU project - the free movement of goods and people across borders. The Bruegel think tank in Brussels says that in 2014 there were almost 1.7 million cross-border commuters in the passport-free zone known as the Schengen Area, after the Luxembourg town where it was created in 1985. Abolishing it would affect their daily lives, but the consequences for Europe would go deeper, given the "visible and powerful symbol of European integration that Schengen represents," Bruegel researchers Nuria Boot and Guntram Wolff wrote in December.

While the German population exceeds 80 million, accepting a million people of a far different culture is not wise.

That is very unfair to you. Aris was telling you the truth.
Maybe you should start traveling through some of these third world countries and see what you pick up? It's sad that these people are inlected, but it is there all the same no matter how loud you yell out that it is racist when it is mentioned.

If an epidemic hits europe it could mean millions. These are not diseases europe is ready to treat nor immunize against.

Vaccines have to be given every few months along with a battery of blood and other tests before the next set of vaccines.

Parents have to keep a sick child home rather than infect a whole school. Why let someone into a country incapable of treated or preventing an epidemic?
