    A few years ago, my sister kept bugging my dad to say "I ain't no hollaback girl". He refused. She pestered him. Finally he got so annoyed and just shouted, "I AINT NO HOLLABACK GIRL"
    To us, it is the BEAST.

        Guess it shouldn't be a surprise as medical groups have been warning about it for years, but I must admit I was kind of hoping for some amazing new leap in medicine that would avoid it before it became a huge threat
        Couple things.

        1, 'resistant to an antibiotic', would include resistant to penicillin. There's a huge, huge range between, 'resistant to an antibiotic' and 'resistant to most antibiotics. Is it a problem? Yes. Is that statistic incredibly unhelpful at discerning the true extent of the problem? Also yes.

          They presumably lose this resistance far more slowly than they acquire them.
          There has been some success in using E Coli bacteria and modifying E Coli to munch on this crap. Sure, they can adapt. But we can use other bacteria to fight them.

            Resistance to antibiotics is becoming a huge global problem. Please don't try and downplay it.

              Resistance to Penicillin isn't in the same league as the spread of Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus. Your 'stat' treats the two as equally concerning.

                  Just another failure of the free market just like none of them bother to fund research into tropical diseases because poor people can't pay much even though millions of them die each year. To compare they're tripping over themselves to help old white men get hard ons.
