One of the most dreaded diseases has arisen yet again…..that of the Ebola virus…….it is running rampant in west Africa and two Americans have contracted the disease…..these individuals were helping in the African countries that are suffering from this resurgence……and now those people have been returned to the US for treatment……a survival rate of about 10% it is not looking good for the people that have the disease….

Even the Mighty Donald has had his say….but as usual….NO one is listening.

I have seen and read a few opinion about the disease and even some are worried that the disease will get a foothold in this country…..but you know instead of worrying about these people there is another problem that should be of more concern that these people of have returned home basically to die…..the problem I am speaking of is another disease that is making its debut here in the good old US of A…….

Newser) – Antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are “just about as bad as it gets,” as one study author puts it, are spreading quickly in the Southeast, with a fivefold increase in detected cases between 2008 and 2012, a new study warns. The carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae, or CRE, can defeat even last-resort antibiotics and have been dubbed “nightmare bacteria” by the CDC. The study’s authors say they are “trying to sound the alarm,” and experts say the findings are especially worrying because it appears some of the cases were not connected to a hospital setting, the Smithsonian reports.

Maryn McKenna at Wired explains another alarming note: Many cases were found at community hospitals instead of the academic medical centers where the sickest patients are, which “is a signal that it is probably moving through what medicine calls ‘the community,’ which is to say, anywhere outside health care. Or, you know, everyday life,” she writes. Experts blame overuse of antibiotics and infection control lapses for the spread of CRE. If the spread can’t be stopped, “we’ll be in a post-antibiotic era,” an infection-control activist tells USA Today. “And the danger is not going to go away unless we change the course of how we do things.” (In an ominous first, last month the CDC said antibiotic-resistant bacteria had been found in food for the first time.)

I believe this disease is a bigger problem to us here than the Ebola outbreak…..maybe instead of looking for some non-existent conspiracy our time would be better spent on this more pressing disease…….

Whatcha think?
