Super Clap

From "the world's humanitarian news site," Supergonorrhea!
[Blah blah blah somebody blah blah] said the increase in cases of superbug strains meant there was a risk gonorrhoea may become an untreatable disease in the near future.

The proportion of gonorrhoea cases with resistance to the antibiotic recommended to treat the disease, cefixime, rose from 4 percent in 2009 to 9 percent in 2010.

The ECDC report follows a warning from the World Health Organisation that virtually untreatable forms of drug-resistant gonorrhoea were spreading around the world.

Untreatable clap? Just great, it's as if we reset the clock on human achievement sixty years.

It's a beautiful planet, it's a bug planet!

Hmmm, let see here.

We create a condition where EVERY bacteria is made more robust and resistant to all mainstream antibiotics because we fucking WASH OUR COUNTERS WITH ANTIBIOTICS and we don't take our full prescriptions and we take antibiotics for Viruses and because we have a fucking goddam tummy ache, fer crissakes, and then we only even NOW notice the problem we've created when it comes to the clap.

We need a new tag: Die Humans Die...

But that's no license to go strewing sets of lungs hither and yon, MB.

And the absolutely brilliant idea of feeding antibiotics to perfectly healthy animals.

Oh sorry. Were we on the topics of lungs?
