theres this news out there of a new superbug called CA-MRSA (Community Aquired Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) can target anyone, including the young and healthy.

already a sydney teenager died has died,
>>Sixteen-year-old Sydneysider Reis Gray died late last year from a CA-MRSA infection in his lungs.<<

this new superbug kills 2000 Australian hospital patients a year on average, has now evolved into a much more aggressive strain which are antibiotic-resistant

Seems like a beat up to me. Are you sure it isn't on Today Tonight??

Uum if it kills 2,000 people a year why only one in NSW and that was last year.

Do you really think that if 38 people a week are dying from this "bug" we wouldn't have heard about it?

Understood mate.

My girlfriend is a nurse of 27 years standing. She says there have always been super bugs around since year dot.

You know how the media like to beat up a story.
