The repeated use the term “super bug” is annoying. So an old guy dies from an infection, I dare say that is not uncommon. In fact it’s how my grandmother passed away.
It just bothers me how the author of this article kept talking about a “bug”. What the heck was it, a virus, a bacteria? It just reeks of sensationalism.
The article was written for a popular, diverse audience.
For those interested in more technical details, I provided a link to the CDC pages on the subject.
From that linked CDC page:
Clostridium difficile [klo-STRID-ee-um dif-uh-SEEL] is a bacterium that causes diarrhea and more serious intestinal conditions such as colitis.
(Bold emphasis added)
Well, you know the whole "global warming" thing isn't working out so well for the Libs and the laimstream media. They have to create a new boogeyman to keep the myrmidons hysterical and distracted. Maybe the "superbug" is it?
