Germany may have overplayed its hand when the government blamed Spain and their vegetables for the source of the E. coli outbreak. It was convenient since so many in Germany are obsessed with bashing southern Europeans but the facts aren't there to support the attacks. It will be interesting to see what is the source of the problem and if it has nothing to do with Spain, Germany should be reprimanded. And then fined. A lot. Who knows, they may even stop bashing the Greeks and every other country that they find is beneath them, which would be most of them.
Remind me again who thought the European Union was a good idea?
German officials have set up a task force to hunt the source of a highly toxic strain of E-coli that has left at least 19 people dead in 12 countries across Europe.
Health authorities repeated warnings on Friday to avoid some raw vegetables in northern Germany, as officials said 199 new cases of the rare strain of the bacteria had been reported in the past two days.
But the warnings came as a European Union laboratory in Rome said there was no scientific evidence that vegetables were the source of the infection.
E-coli 0104 bacteria has claimed the lives of 19 people across Europe, the World Health Organisation [WHO] said on Friday, in a strain it said has "never [been] seen before".
