‘Superbugs’ kill India’s babies and pose an overseas threat

A deadly epidemic that could have global implications is quietly sweeping India, and among its many victims are tens of thousands of newborns dying because once-miraculous cures no longer work.

These infants are born with bacterial infections that are resistant to most known antibiotics, and more than 58,000 died last year as a result, a recent study found. While that is still a fraction of the nearly 800,000 newborns who die annually in India, Indian pediatricians say that the rising toll of resistant infections could soon swamp efforts to improve India's abysmal infant death rate. Nearly a third of the world's newborn deaths occur in India.

Obola imported Ebola to these shores, so no doubt this is next.

An epidemic of resistant bacteria is far more likely to occur in the US than an outbreak of Ebola. The potential of resistant bacteria to cause widespread death and disease is truly frightening.

Prior to antibiotics and vaccines, people were more likely to die of infectious disease than any other cause. Even now, it is still in the top ten list of killers.

My thoughts exactly. We are seeing an increasing influx of diseases we’ve never seen, diseases that were once considered eradicated here, and diseases that are just downright lethal. I believe it is because of illegal immigrations and the passive uncaring stance of this Obama government.

They need to stop blaming it on South American mosquitos or telling us to “wash our hands”, and start taking the implications of what they are doing very seriously.

We simply cannot afford a treatment regimen that calls for a million dollar plus isolation and round the clock care for everyone. Stop it at the borders, stop it at the Embassies overseas. Stop it.

Let’s hope Omuslim doesn’t find out - he’ll start letting them flood into the U.S.

If you couple the potential for a lot of these +$million cases with the inclusion of Obama-sanctioned illegals on the Medicare and Medicaid system, along with subsidies for Obamacare, we have a situation where the entire system will fail - perhaps to the point that the only way out will be National Health Care altogether. My guess is that Obama is doing all this intentionally.

Bingo, you are a winner.

Harry Reid said that Obama care was a path to the single payer system, and I believe they never intended it to work, it was a CON. Surely, these sleaze balls knew that the Americans would balk at the Healthcare that’s unaffordable, and the immigration that steals jobs, and are ready to use that crisis to implement the SINGLE PAYER NATIONAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM...

NOW, in 2015, Obama Care must be repealed or gutted, in order to circumvent that tragedy from happening.

You got that right.

Ebola resides in the wild in one place: Africa. Keep infected persons out of North America and, presto, no Ebola here.

What about all the labs here in the U.S.?

Obola is just following the religion of Rev Wright to d... America. His wife must be soooo proud.

The thing is, I’ve been reading the Old Testament under a microscope and God would not let this happen unless it was deserved. On the one hand we say we are a Christian nation, but how are we seen by the world? As a whole our nation and its portrayal is very pagan.

I've thought about this also, and I also remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.... even then, the angels relented to Lot on his plea for just a few righteous men to save the city.....IIRC turns out it was just him and his family....but he was given safe passage (and a caution).

My question is "where and what is that same sort of accommodation with this country?" Has it already been asked and judged? Is the decision still open? Or, is God just gonna go by the total number of fools that voted for Obama and call that the decision?
