Hello. Rubeola is the normal kind which causes more serious symptoms and can do permanent damage. Rubella is German Measles which is very benign if you have it as a child or an adult but can induce severe birth defects in womem infected early in pregnancy. Aside from some similarity in symptoms, there isn’t much in common betwen the two viruses.

Rubeola is a serious disease and is sometimes called "hard", "red", or "seven day measles". Individuals infected with measles frequently suffer from ear infections and/or pneumonia. Rrubella (German ones) is a mild, three day infection that seldom leads to complications in children. However, rubella may cause birth deformities in babies born to mothers who are infected with the virus during pregnancy.

I’m sure German Measles is Rubella, which is a whole different illness….can be very dangerous for women.
