'Super-gonorrhoea' is spreading across Britain and will become untreatable, doctors fear
(UK) Telegraph ^ | April 17, 2016 | Danny Boyle

An outbreak of highly drug-resistant "super-gonorrhoea" is sweeping across Britain and could become untreatable, medics fear.

A national alert was triggered by Public Health England last September after the rare strain of the sexually transmitted superbug was detected in 15 people.

The number of confirmed cases has now risen to 34 and, according to reports, there is "huge concern" among doctors that it is spreading across the UK. And experts said it is at risk of becoming untreatable if the only fully effective antibiotic remaining fails.

Maybe it can do to the LGBTQWXYX “community” what AIDS failed to do.

Sounds as though it’s really nothing to “clap” about.

“I know, I know!”
“Billy?”
“Change “could” to “will.””
“Very good.”

While it is easy to lay the blame squarely on foreign workers for spreading transmittable diseases, both the government and private sector employers must shoulder responsibility to improve the health screening process conducted, step up border controls, and stop the employment of undocumented migrants.

If only the media would cover what utter cesspools of disease reside within the homosexual community, perhaps people wouldn't have such a positive view of them nowadays?

Of course the non-stop Pro-Queer propaganda masquerading as "entertainment" probably has a lot to do with why queers are seen in a positive light in modern America.

People are either lazy about antibiotic use or just don’t understand the danger of not completing their prescribed course of antibiotic treatment. That and over-prescription of antibiotics have led to a number of “superbugs,” for instance, MRSA. It was just a matter of time before an STD became resistant and started to spread.

“NAAH; it won’t kill’em, just make their junk ROT”

Old Buddy Hackett joke (not safe for fragile folks):

A guy wakes up, goes to the bathroom and notices his member is colored a green and red plaid, so he rushes off to his doctor.

The doctor examines him and says, “Bad news. We’re going to have to cut it off.”

He doesn’t like the sound of that, so he goes to see several more doctors, but they all say the same thing, “We’ve got to cut it off.”

The guy is walking dejectedly down the street after his visit to the last doctor, when he passes by a Chinese herbalist shop. In the window are all kinds of preparations for all kinds of diseases, some of which he had never heard of before, so he decides to give it a shot.

He goes in and talks to the old guy behind the counter. He tells him his problem, and that all the doctors say he has to get it cut off. The old guy agrees to take a look, and after a long time, he says, “No. You no need to get it cut off.”

The guy was ecstatic, thanking the old man over and over.

Then the old guy says, “You no need to get it cut off. It fall off by itself.”

Public infrastructure in Kampala, Uganda after Idi Amin was in disarray. At one point the sewer backed up in one area and raw sewage was flowing out the manholes and across the streets. City traffic running through the mess would turn it into an aerosol spray which pedestrians would inhale.

Voilà! Doctors were soon seeing many cases of gonorrhea of the sinuses.

Nasty!
