honestly some type of bronchiectasis or tuberculosis that was totally resistant to antibiotics and induced death primarily via exsanguinating hemoptysis.

the scariest poo poo is actually just around the corner when antibiotics poo poo the bed and we can’t even do basic surgical procedures because the risk of nosocomial mrsa infection post-op is too high. we are like 30 years out, and still using antibiotics to water lawns and make chickens fat

And pharmaceutical companies aren't bothering to research antibiotics because the ROI isn't high enough.

one of the common symptoms of health anxiety is trying to loving read your poo poo like tea leaves for secret signs of colon cancer.

hi im permabanned poster coronastomper58, i first started reading cspam when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of “having a terminal disease” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like “jesus christ i have the wuhan fish flu” and “i love eating bats” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid

i only see China as having the wherewithal to employ state resources to act on this imminent threat, yet at the same time, they’re a primary cause. due to their lax regulations, they are responsible for large amounts of antibiotics being dumped into the environment.

Haven't they been working on a massive program to eliminate antibiotic use in their livestock farming? I recall reading about it a few years ago and they had 2020 as a target for total elimination of farming antibiotic use. I wonder how that's going.

Crash vaccine development, clinical trials, etc. even if you ignore safety protocols and just start jabbing people with the poo poo is probably 3-4 months out at absolute best, and that's if the first round goes swimmingly and isn't just like.. 30% effective like it probably will be.
