And the article neglected to identify which parts of the world where the superbug has come here from.

Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria are normally found in humans' intestines, where they don't cause disease. Outside, they can cause infections including pneumonia and meningitis. hmmm...wonder if the rise of the homos has anything to do with this...wth ima blaming them anyways

Feces are the most significant source of patient infection. It is a fecal coilform, hence male homos are indeed a major vector with transmission among them by the fecal-oral route. The coprophiles have a bad habit of rimming that often leads to vectoring a myriad of infectious agents. It is the gay way but not too smart.

This,too,is (partially) courtesy of our wetback cousins from south of the border.In Mexico you can buy just about every antibiotic...over the counter...without a prescription.People there pop them like we pop tic tacs thus allowing a buildup of resistance.

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
