The largest outbreak to date of one strain of what authorities have called nightmare bacteria is adding to concerns about the spread of such drug-resistant bugs.
The outbreak, centered on a hospital in a Chicago suburb, has infected 44 people in Illinois over the past year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The bug, known as carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae, bears a rare enzyme that breaks down antibiotics.
This is a huge cluster, said Alex Kallen, a medical officer with the CDC and supervisor for the Illinois outbreak investigation, noting that only 97 cases of the infection have been reported to the agency since 2009. The superbug, which typically lives in the intestines and is part of a large family of bacteria, can be spread via fecal matter. It isnt typically transmitted by casual contact outside hospitals.

Yes, I know. May God give you the strength that you need.
Giving God the loving devotion He wants will generally weigh heavily towards a blessed result. It’s based on the simple promise: sincerely desire to glorify Him via whatever enterprise you undertake, and you get the wherewithal. It can look like miracles sometimes but this is just God keeping a promise. But “oh don’t bother us, we’re OK with the Lord” falls flat at the throne. I’m encouraging anyone facing problems like this to do it with a constant look up at the Lord and not down at their fellow men. Look for God to make it His Own witness... and then usually, you will see miracle.
Thanks so much!
it wasn’t sarcasm
I did, and I'd rather read my Bible.
But in it, your handling of yourself indicates to me that you might want to memorize and meditate on a very important message that Jehovah has sent you. It is Ecclesiastes 7:16-18. Please take a hint.
And when you have digested and applied it, I will accept your apology.
