Well the abuse of antibiotics are nothing new, should the concequences of this abuse really be that surprising?

Yes, because they affect me, damnit, not some other generation to push it off to.

[Cthulhu]

Bitches don't know about my medical bacteriophages.

Also, no need to completely lose your shit.  In case you didn't notice, we've spent like 99% of history without antibiotics.

But we had antibiotic resistant bacteria years ago and the projections of its effectiveness was FAR within our lifetime.

[PenguinOverlord]

The article said I had 10 years, but okay.

To be fair, that was the 99% of history where people tended to die of dysentery by age forty.  Oregon Trail is only fun because it's not real.

[Cthulhu]

Like I said, we just need to get bacteriophages through the FDA.  It's pretty much the perfect solution.

Oregon Trail was only fun because there were buffalo as far as the eye can see.  No antibiotics + no buffalo = no fun.

You mean when the life span was like 35 years? And people had immune systems?

Not that I truely think this is anything. We always have doom of some type 10 years from now, we had it ten years ago and we will have it in ten years.

Also a lot of what they don't tell you about these disease deaths... were a lot more often caused due to improper treatment, usually because people were DANG poor, then because the disease was super powerful.

The cure for dissentary isn't antibiotics in the vast majority of cases.

The title of the article is a gross exaggeration. The existence of antibiotic resistant bacteria does not mean that all, or even most, bacterian infections will be produced by them.
Also, fun fact the article doesn't bother mentioning: once you reduce the usage of an antibiotic for a period of time, resistances go down again.

That's not sensationalist though.

That's not sensationalist though.

Also, that would require moderation.

In other words, the complete opposite of what the US media likes to print.
