“That’s why we’re trying to spread the message of prevention.”

Prevention...........what a joke.

[RightWhale]

Ultimately we will be reprocessed one way or another.

‘Democracy-Eating’ MRS. “C” Threatens American freedom.
Coincidence? I think not.

I bet that name has been the butt of a joke or two.

A good start on prevention - Quarantine San Franciso. All of these places are just incubators and vectors for this stuff.

Marvelous.

“What is “No,” Alex?”

Community-acquired MRSA has been around for a few years. It affects high school and college athletes, cheerleaders, day care kids, first responders, etc. Wash your hands, wear gloves, avoid skin to skin contact. You know, the usual precautions. I’ve seen a couple of cases of pneumonia.

It communicable person to person but it’s not plague. This is hype because its gays.

-should we get nervous yet?....

..you will know there is trouble when your neighbor drops dead....

[Cicero]

you will know there is trouble when your neighbor drops dead....

Or if you look down and notice that you have "boils as large as tennis balls."

"Or if you look down and notice that you have "boils as large as tennis balls."

That may not be all that unusual in the queer community.

[Chode]

filthy disease ridden queers destroying society...

-no.

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)

I just want to know: Is this MSRA potentially more or less dangerous to my health than second hand smoke?

Spreading rapidly among gay men in several major US cities, researchers reported in the Anals of Internal Medicine.

[maine-iac7]

It is thought to be spread by UNATURAL sexual contact

they left a word out.

Another world plague, compliments of the gays - and there are some who will deliberately spread it to the non-gay community so they can say "See, it isn't just us" -

[gidget7]

If gay men were interested in prevention, AIDS would not be a problem. What makes anyone think they will now suddenly become interested in prevention.

They KNOW how to prevent, the are not interested. Nor is our government.
