1972 SuperBug
Looks harmless.
Just spreading the diseases that Americans won’t.
Great...
What are the symptoms of these?
Have these people never considered changing disposable plastic gloves between patients in addition to thorough hand washing.
They should isolate the infected patients from the rest of the hospital community too, I should think.

“The bacteria, called C.R.E., is spreading throughout hospitals all across the country.”
Which is one of the reasons I don’t go to the doctor or the hospital, unless I am unconscious and can’t refuse to go.
Looks harmless.
Anyone worried about antibiotic resistance is someone who is unknowledgeable about phages.

Which reminds me. While in Whole Foods men's room Sunday, as an employee who had left his apron and chopping knife outside, finished his vile stall business he then approached the sink and turned on the cold water, pretended to wash for 3 seconds and scurried away and back to produce. I left without saying anything. Normally I would, it wouldn't be the first time, but I was so disgusted I thought better of it.
And we know this goes on all the time everywhere, right? No wonder bacteria spreads so widely, rapidly. It aught to be a capital offense consistent with an over-sized coke. Auld Nanny Bloomberg missed the mark methinks.
In Los Angeles?
Huh..
Ping me if it crosses the Mississippi.
These “superbugs” are resistant to almost all antibiotics, have high mortality rates, and can spread their resistance to other bacteria.
Sounds a lot like Marxism; fortunately, we'd never have to be concerned the feral government might deliberately unleash a plague.
Engineered?
there is absolutely no legal way to keep anyone in isolation or to prevent visitors from going in and out without washing hands...
there is the problem....
but dumping on care givers is always the easy way out....
SEAL THE DAMNED BORDERS!
It would really help if the idiots who write this stuff were not too lazy to actually look up information and could write above the level of a 3rd grader.
From the CDC website:
CRE, which stands for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, are a family of germs that are difficult to treat because they have high levels of resistance to antibiotics. Klebsiella species and Escherichia coli (E. coli) are examples of Enterobacteriaceae, a normal part of the human gut bacteria, that can become carbapenem-resistant. Types of CRE are sometimes known as KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) and NDM (New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase). KPC and NDM are enzymes that break down carbapenems and make them ineffective.
Healthy people usually do not get CRE infections. In healthcare settings, CRE infections most commonly occur among patients who are receiving treatment for other conditions. Patients whose care requires devices like ventilators (breathing machines), urinary (bladder) catheters, or intravenous (vein) catheters, and patients who are taking long courses of certain antibiotics are most at risk for CRE infections.
As long as it's just one, step on it and squish it. Done, humankind saved.
