Well, they’re both involved in vile-smelling, watered-down, offensive and abnoxious sh*t...I’d say they have more in common than not.
Actually, I think your math is a bit off, it’s not .00003%, it’s .003%.
You had me thinking I was safe, but now I’m really worried.
It very clearly says 10,000 MORE cases per year,not 10,000 cases total.....with 300,000 cases of C. Diff in 2005...double the number in 2000. Or course, that makes 30,000 more cases per year, but they might have been talking about the "more virulent" strain. Sounds like it's becoming more of a problem every year and the People should be informed about this nosocomial infection.
Deaths in 2004....5500....double that in 2000....sounds like more of a problem every year and the People should be informed about this nosocomial infection.
Death through the sloughing off of your intestinal lining and crapping yourself to death.....sure sounds fun...maybe the People should be informed about this nosocomial infection?
...but WTH do I know....I only work with the stuff and we have a non-antibiotic treatment for the 2 toxins produced by C.diff in phase 2 clinical trials as I speak.....going phase 3 in the Fall.
My brother has been in and out of the hospital with this for several years. It’s very nasty...
....and an “epidemic” is merely a greater disease infection rate “than expected”. There is no “percentage of the population” necessary to be defined as such.
