What’s worse than being told that you have gonorrhea? How about being told that you are the first case in the U.S. of gonorrhea that has either no response or reduced response to five different classes of antibiotics? Yep, that’s what recently happened to not one but two people in Massachusetts, according to a January 19 announcement from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH). They were infected with a strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria that’s even harder to treat, which is kind of like getting kicked in the groin and then falling forwards groin-first on to a bowling ball. Think about the burning sensation that drug-resistant gonorrhea may give you the next time you are on a Tinder date and forego using condoms because “it feels better without a condom.”
An alert letter from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to health professionals described how these cases were found. The first case went to a primary care clinic after experiencing urethritis symptoms. Urethritis, which is pronounced “your a thritis” as opposed to “we all are thritis,” is inflammation of your urethra. Your urethra is that tube that runs from your bladder to where pee comes out of your body. When you have such inflammation, you may feel the urge to urinate even when you don’t need to urinate. That’s called urinary urgency, which is a little different from the urgency you get when you are trying to sell your bitcoin before its price drops any further. Other possible signs of urethritis include difficulty starting urination, feeling itching, pain, or discomfort down there, or a discharge or blood coming out of your urethral opening.
The health professionals at the clinic took specimens from the patient’s urethra and then found N. gonorrhoeae in those specimens. The Massachusetts State Laboratory

Slow clap.
Soon to be spread like ‘you know, that thing’ More bad news for humanity.
The Kennedys been angling in international waters again?
To all blue state residents:
We will reinforce mask mandates and lockdowns and businesses will be closed until this gonorrhea pandemic is brought under control.
That is all.
The annual flu shot covers this - no?
“..But I was innoculated for Monkey pox...”
I wonder if they engaged in homosexual activity, or strictly heterosexual activity.
Are there a lot of farm tractors in MA?
Eventually an untreatable bug will hit the straight community and with it dies the hook-up culture.
Oh, wait. Never mind.
Gonorrhea, like Monkey Pox, is easily avoided. Play with fire, you get burned.
This is what the disease looks like:

I think Frank Zappa wrote a song about this ..
Wonder if the patients live in or have visited Provincetown lately...?
I would have gone with f around find out...
Next pandemic! Just in time for Nov 2024.
So, if we take the biblical approach and kill or quarantine indefinitely the 2 infected, we can be guaranteed that they will not spread it to anyone else ever again.
I someone can wear a mask for two years why can’t they wear a condom while they have sex?
