There is now a gonorrhea superbug and we can't get rid of it
Sacramento Bee ^ | September 27, 2017 | BY JOSHUA TEHEE

Here’s harrowing news for the sexually active: sexually transmitted diseases are getting out of control.

In its annual STD Surveillance Report, the Center for Disease Control saw a record increase in the number of infections of three sexually transmitted diseases in the U.S. -- chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis.

Syphilis, in particular, is seeing massive outbreaks in places like Fresno, CA, where the disease was almost nonexistent six years ago, according to The Fresno Bee.

In July, the World Health Organization issued a warning about the global rise of drug-resistant gonorrhea.

That’s the one that produces a burning sensation and a white, yellow or green discharge in men. There were 470,000 gonorrhea cases reported in the U.S. last year, FYI.

Typically, the disease can be treated with one of several antibiotics, but the WHO is now seeing strains that have evolved to resist most commons antibiotics, NBC reports. A few are almost completely untreatable.

Uh, it CAN be eradicated: quarantine all carriers, partner trace, test partner, repeat.

I’m “sexually active”. What will I do, what will I do?!?

Oh yeah, that’s right. I’ve been married and devoted to the same woman for 25 years. Guess I’ll let this hysteria pass.

Geez, by 1950-60s Syphilis was stamped out, and now it’s back! Two other sexually transmitted diseases out of control....I am not surprised! Thanks for posting this news, it seems many new bugs, and diseases to be aware of now!

The Bible says:

Numbers 32:23 23”But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.

Yeah, if the hospitals would go back to the old-fashioned method of a red-hot poker up the pecker word would get out and some of these young fellas might start to put a helmet on that soldier. lol

The true tried and effective is the "test and slaughter" method.

The left doesn’t mind the third world importation of malaria and TB, but mess with their casual sex and they’ll take notice. They won’t blame illegal immigration. This will somehow be whitey’s fault and racist. Or global warming.

We already know how it is transmitted, but nope, politics deems those who do so too important to do anything about.

There’s a reason all this fun got prohibited a few millennia ago in successful societies...they found out there were consequences
