OK, now THIS is a bug worth worrying about, not that lame-ass “bird flu”.

So would MRSA patients need to be segregated like that fella with TB down in Phoenix?

My wife got MRSA after a month in ICU last year. It was localized to the skin, probalby from one of the many catheters and IVs she had.
She got rid of it with no after-effects.
Hospitals are the worst place for a seriously ill person to be.

My guess would be yes, but I didn’t see where this boy was quarantined. It seems like this stuff is always in Japan or China or Africa to begin with. Or is it just me?

I agree... USA always seems to be the destination, not the breeding ground.

Awright, which country is missing the bug from their biological weapons cache?

Actually, I survived MRSA not to long ago...still fighting the crap.
The infectious disease folks told me to follow the medical plan to the letter or there could be repercussions...Guess they were talking about death or confinement.

Odds are good the Black Death originated in Central America and was spread to Europe and then to China. About 1/3 the population died.

Hubs contracted an eczema type skin rash after staying at a foreign-owned hotel. We’ve paid tons of money for various doctors and preparations. I’m still wondering in the back of my mind if there was a bite or something.
Wasn’t that behind the Black Death? Fleas on wharf rats?

A US company, Cubist Pharmaceuticals, has a novel drug that is supposed to work well on MRSAs. Probably not available there yet. I think they just got European approval for their drug.
