What a coincidence ...
Time to ban smoking in bars - it’s killing too many people.

I know. Ive been a medical transcriptionist for 15 years and am very aware of MRSA. Type it daily. It’s nothing new, but is getting a lot of publicity lately.
Aids was a mostly voluntary disease acquired through behavioral choices. Staph infections are something else.
I read that 90,000 + people die from staph infections (excluding this new superbug) picked up in American hospitals each year. More than die from auto accidents or gunshots.
Amazing how many people are willing to take a chance on illness or death over sex.
That’s what bothers me: The contagion is being driven by a certain vector, but is not dependent on the same vector. A societal behavior risks an entire population, not just the subculture it comes from.
Why is it we must be tolerant of this, again? It is getting harder and harder to explain...
Staph infections linked to 'manscaping' (body shaving) [The latest homosexual disease]
S.F. gay community an epicenter for new strain of virulent staph
New Strain of MRSA Spreads Among Gay Men
Drug-resistant staph found to be passed in gay sex
Flesh-Eating Bacteria Striking Gay Men - spread primarily through anal intercourse (MRSA USA300)
Epidemic Feared - Gays May Spread Deadly Staph Infection to General Population (MRSA USA300)
Superbug linked to homosexual behavior
If you cheat and read the end of the book...the bugs win. Their more adaptable.
That is odd. Wonder how that would occur?
Some cases even have developed into "necrotizing fascitis," the so-called "flesh-eating" disease because of its quick progression that often requires surgery, or amputation, to halt its progress, the report said.
Sounds like the problem is self-correcting.

OUCH!
THIS and other extremely expensive medical problems caused by this behavior, are what is wrong with health care and the costs. It far out weighs even illegal immigration. There are just too many serious and even deadly medical issues caused by this behavior to even name them, and even if someone did, a lot of it would not be printed here since the language would be explicit and most people with logical rational minds, would be sickened.
AIDS is just a SMALL part of the problem entering into this deadly lifestyle exposes homosexuals to.
I would say all the money spent to find a cure for this completely preventable disease in largely to blame for our economy woes too. Couple the cost of looking for cures, with the cost per month for these drug cocktails for AIDS or HIV alone and it’s enough to bankrupt any health care provider.
Scary indeed! Imagine a homosexual working in a restaurant, or as a teacher, exposing mass numbers of people, including children. And you cannot discriminate! The right to an orgasm no matter how depraved and dangerous trumps the health of the general public. And all the health organizations and legislators can think to do is jump on board with the brainless second hand smoke bandwagon. And the obesity bandwagon. Demonize law abiding citizens and promote anything criminal or deviant.
Another good reason not to be a tourist in San Francisco.
"And would you like some MRSA with that salad?"
It’s all over wresting mats in high schools throughout America already- poor kids!
Bet the homosexual community claims the C.I.A. in collusions with G.W. Bush are responsible for this one too.
True, but most people would say that disqualifies a lot of cities and even towns, all over the country. Certainly anywhere in the NE or coastal west. Even FLA.
