UK Macron Blames Brexit for Channel Migrant Surge as UK-French Deal Faces Turmoil
Macron is wrong. I'll just point out the Sangatte Camps from the late 90 through 2010 Whilst the UK was part of the EU. The blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Mutti Merkel with her " Come one come all " followed up by " Come on Europe, we can do this " It started in 2015 under Merkel, a year before the Brexit vote. -

Report Deadly Disease Alert: Melioidosis Claims 72 Lives in Thailand
This is one of those diseases that worries me because it can take weeks, months, or even years for symptoms to appear. And the symptoms can be mistaken for so many other things. Then, there's the treatment, which is weeks of IV antibiotics followed by months of oral antibiotics. And probably the scariest aspect is that I don't ever recall being swabbed and tested in a manner that would identify the cause. It's always been "take this for a week and see how it works". And that's on both sides of the pond. The following comes from the US CDC website: Melioidosis has a wide range of signs and symptoms. You usually develop symptoms of melioidosis within 1 to 4 weeks after you've been exposed to it. Some cases have developed symptoms months or years after exposure. Symptoms of disseminated infection include: Fever Headache Trouble breathing Stomach or chest pain Muscle pain Confusion Seizure If you are diagnosed with melioidosis, doctors will decide how long you'll need treatment based on how bad the infection is. Treatment generally includes: Intravenous (in the vein) antibiotics from 2 to 8 weeks, followed by Oral (pills by mouth) antibiotics for 3 to 6 months It's important to complete your treatment so that the infection goes away completely.
