In the USA the germ MRSA killed 19,000 last year and injured more than 94,000.

Have no idea if it has crossed the border and attacked Canada but I have not heard if Canada is putting troops on the border to stop it.

Where is Homeland security?

Granted we have alot of issues, but you would think this would get a bit more news since it kills 19 thousand a year alone in the USA.

Anyway back to that sign scandal.

Troops to stop the germs? Are they going to shoot the germs with bazookas?

Oh well, only 19,000 dead, indeed a minor issue compared to the sign "scandal"

"Deaths from the hospital-acquired superbug MSRA have risen more than 15-fold over the past decade in the UK."

I do not mean to alarm you Helene, but Run....Run very fast NOW!

We can only hope MI5 or MI6 or Scotland yard is on the job and massing troops.

"The number of death certificates mentioning Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection increased each year from 1993 to 2005 in England and Wales. An increase in the number of death certificates specifying MRSA, from 51 in 1993 to 1,629 in 2005, accounted for almost all of this increase in deaths. "

It only spreads in hospitals with poor hygiene and only evolves in countries where people don't believe in the theory that excessive antibiotics use promotes antibiotics-resistance.

So I think there is still hope of controlling it.

Anyway, tx for the warning, I will keep extra attention to the hygiene if I need hospital treatment.

See...the call for universal health care is really just a ploy to get everyone into hospitals so that MRSA can kill them!

Geez based on Dr. Todd and Helene's post it sounds like our local hospitals are recruiting bases for MSRA. I do not mean to tar all hospitals with the "killer brush" but is your local hospital, safe?

Again where is Homeland security, FBI, or the CIA? Did they not know about this germ attack ahead of time or is the government really behind all of this just like 9-11?

It seems Germs come from Germany.

What, Bush is planning to attack the hospitals next? Mike, you are a republican, stop him please!

Never heard of that party. Maybe he should post a picture of himself holding a sign saying he voted for them.
