Some people predict nuclear war, some predict a huge asteroid striking earth, I have predicted for a long time now that micro-organisms will be the end of humanity. We are already one antibiotic away from the inability to treat pneumonia, which was the #1 killer around the turn of the century. There are antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria among us now. As a leader in technology, medicine, and communication, why do we continue to place ourselves in harm's way?
Some will say that I am paranoid for making statements such as this, but I simply try to be logical about some things. The Black Death was responsible for killing nearly 100 million people. I know times were different back then, but do we think we are Ebola proof?
HIV is spread the same way....bodily fluids. More than a million people in this country have HIV.
Please correct any of my facts. Maybe an educated RN can chime in on this one with a one sentence answer.
