Maybe in England, new strains have been introduced by the Muslim immigrants with their fondness for goats and camels.

Oddly, no stats given for vectors by culture/religion/race/crime status.

It's always fun to blame goat-humpin' Muslims, but that is almost certainly not the case here.

Two much bigger culprits:

(Big Bump)The sexually licentious behavior of boys and girls, men and women (of any sexual proclivity) who have been doing recreational intercourse (sport sex) with careless abandon since the introduction of "penicillin and the Pill" back in the 50's and 60's, and

(Echo Bump) The new and renewed ruttishness due to AIDS being turned into a "manageable asymptomic chronic condition" and the aggressive promotion of long-term hormonal contraception starting with adolescent girls (injected, implanted, and transdermal) which practically guarantees that nobody's gonna abstain from fornication AND nobody's gonna use a condom.

The wages of sin is...? You know the answer.

And the next question is: can antibiotic-resistant sexually transmitted diseases kill civilizations?

We'll see soon enough. You watch.

Yeah, that was my question too.
