The new Superbug - Deadly Bacteria

[Colten]

You beat me to it :(

Basically, everyone play it safe and don't do anything that would get you infected with any bacteria

You tell me this after I cut my leg off and go swimming in the gulf :(

People are assuming this could be some zombie thing.

Yeah. I saw this at my hotel stay on CNN (They only had french stuff which i didn't care about). My sis was all like "OMGOMGOMGOMG WERE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEEE". Is it deadly? :o

Is it deadly? :o

It sounds like it's only deadly to people who take a lot of medication and build up an anti-biotic immunity before being infected.

The super bug is immune to the anti-biotics in general.  You are vulnerable. All of us are.

This is just some stuff to try to scare people.
It's like the swine flu: everyone made a big fuss about it when it was less deadly than the normal flu.

Vulnerable to the sniffles lol

Really, the superbug isn't that bad if nobody's died from it yet

If its immune to everything, what if it develops to something bigger :o?

why doesn't the article describe the bacteria and how it affects us at all?
there are like no details about it, seems like a pretty damn important piece of info...
