Experts say that U.S. deaths from deadly drug-resistant staph could surpass AIDS deaths
|
Why is "AIDS deaths" a milestone? AIDS doesn't really kill too many people in this country.
Why not "kills more people than slippery bathtubs" or "more people than huffing paint?" |

What sensible person in this ocuntry is afraid of AIDS, quite possibly the most easily-avoidable disease ever?

I see the police and medical people with there protective wrappers on before they get near anything. It is the gift that keeps on giving.

One of my daughters got staph from school and it kept coming back and surfacing on the skin off and on for over a year. Everytime she got a knick or cut from something it reappeared. It spreads so quickly too. It would be a teeny bump the size of an ant bite one day and the next day the size of a quarter. I had to take her in each time for strong antibiotics and topical treatments. I'm always worried that it is still lying dormant and will reappear at some point.:(

I hear that the worst thing that anyone can touch is the first floor button in a hospital elevator. My sister told me this and she uses her elbow to punch hospital elevator buttons, no matter which floor, LOL...
