This may be the apocalypse, sooner rather than later. November 19, 2015 6:42 pm bowser

“Whether that happens this year, or next year, or the year after, it’s very hard to say.”

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-34857015

It does seem to me we’ve heard this before, AIDS, bird flu, but we’ve also relied upon antibiotics to stave those off.

“They said that resistance would spread around the world and raised the spectre of untreatable infections.

“It is likely resistance emerged after colistin was overused in farm animals.

“Bacteria becoming completely resistant to treatment – also known as the antibiotic apocalypse - could plunge medicine back into the dark ages.”

Surgery would become impossible, cuts minor infections fatal, etc.
