Just saw this on Drudge. The article is dated Feb. 20. I haven't seen anything about this, except in this article.

I have no medical background but if it's been identified as a virus,why can't they tell us more about it?

A little more info would help me.

It's very odd, that there are no other articles on this whatsoever. Yet, it must be a big thing, they don't just shut down 4 bases for 3 weeks for nothing.

The first question these days is whether it could be terrorism.

Why bases only?

Those are GERMAN Army (Bundeswehr) bases, NOT US Army bases.

I can understand the bases, because the flu epidemic of 1918 started in army bases,but I haven't read anything about these cases in Germany other than what you just posted.

Thanks.

Good point. But the title of the article said US bases.

It's just odd that this appeared there 3 days ago, and no other news about it anywhere.

I hope it's nothing really serious.

Many nasty diseases have an incubation period of days to weeks, with initial symptoms being relatively mild.

As I said, they don't close down 4 bases completely for some minor bug.

Yes, and a small mind that is so easily amused by small things. Small person.
