The CDC said patients can remain colonized by the fungus for a long time, and it can live on surfaces in healthcare environments, meaning the fungus can spread easily between patients in healthcare facilities.

Are we all going die?

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

I hate Illinois superbugs.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Are we all going die?

If we keep pumping more and more antibiotics into the number one consumer of them, which is BigAg animal factory farming, then these superbugs are going to continue to form resistance to them.

This has been warned about for well over a decade.

It's time.

This reminds me of the Last of Us.

I knew Illinois was a scourge upon the earth. So glad I moved, but now it's still trying to be the death of me? Not cool, man.

I was expecting this to be the first reply.

 

[highrider]

Hey I made it to my 50s, can’t really complain.

 

[Tapioca]

People only get this shit if they are already in the hospital. Hospitals are disgusting.

 

[Tesseract]

we will create a resistant if it gets bad enough, just a question of how many people we're willing to let die first

 

[Falcs]

It's stuff like this that makes me thankful I live down here in Australia where we're isolated from the rest of the world and we have ridiculously strict quarantine laws to prevent diseases coming in from other countries.

This is a fungal disease and is not effected by antibiotics

I think it's also the overuse of hand-sanitizer, anti-bacterial stuff. It kills 99.9% of things or whatever, right. We are basically creating an environment where the non-dominant bad-guys can become dominant, and we've never really had to deal with them before. Scary.

 

[iconmaster]

Yeah, I don't think this one is our fault. It's just a naturally not-nice bug.

Cases in Australia have been reported, along with just about everywhere else. So...

Australia has tons of animals and poisonous things that can kill you, though. Leaving your house everyday in Australia is like a super Mario adventure.

Also people not finishing their antibiotics prescription completely. It doesn't wipe out the bacteria, and leaves just enough resistant ones alive to multiply further.

 

[lil puff]

I'm going to give this more time before I worry about it. Speculation isn't going to do anyone any good.

It does seem strange, and scary... NY has this going on also and we are way more densely populated.

This shit is why I stay the hell to myself, the close people I know, and keep my life simple.

yup, god it's so frustrating

people either don't finish their prescription, or don't take the doses on time

such a waste

 

[TheShadowLord]

This actually reminds of the PBS frontlines news I watch awhile back. Though it was a bacteria, not a fungus. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/hunting-the-nightmare-bacteria/.

 

[Valonquar]

It's happening guys

 

[Cybrwzrd]

The only solution is to nuke it from orbit and walk away I think.

Until you have severe physical trauma, then they become much more compelling.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

Just a Fluorescent Flower, nothing to see here.

That does not negate the fact that hospitals are disgusting. They are full of germs. They are cleaned by poorly trained and paid people. There are numerous infections that people ONLY get in hospitals, this yeast infection being one of them.

The last of us it is then.

I just got a mandatory measles vaccine. Certain zip codes where measles were more prevalent were forced to do so. So the city offered only one clinic to get the vaccination. All the potential measles victims all go to the same place? I went there and that shit was a crowded sloppy mess. Nope.

I already heard 2 cases were parents believe their child obtained measles FROM the clinic where they were getting the vaccine.

I found out that I could go to a pharmacy across the damn street, and got it in less than 10 min.

First the Tylenol killer and now this. I hate my city.

 

[Loki]

Just spoke to someone who works at a major hospital in Brooklyn who casually mentioned to me that three units there are infested with Candida Auris, and there's a measles outbreak in another unit. Pretty crazy.

 

[triplestation]

Superbugs are bad imo
