It's only a matter of time. We misuse and abuse antibiotics so much evolution is going to bite us in the ass.

Good news everybody. The cure for overpopulation has been discovered!

Final call, last ship to Madagascar, final call.

Think of how good this will be for the environment.

Man you'd think a good 5-star curry could wipe out any disease on Earth...

make me some tea: Scary stuff. Hopefully someone, somewhere already working on a superantibiotic to counter the superbugs.

Fire continues to work well.

Shut. Down. EVERYTHING!

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that a drug-resistant strain would pop up in a country as clean and well-maintained as India.

Shocked!

Hopefully bacteriophage therapies get some spotlight time soon...

/the Russians did a lot of work with it
//old tech can be new again

They'll have to start being clean now. Imagine that.

Well, 2012 hit the ground running.

/bumpity-bump-bump

Don't go to a hospital, it will only make you sicker

/How can they know it's 100% drug proof?

The article said 15 people in Iran had it in 2009. A qucik search says untreated TB has a 50% mortality rate, but now I am curious if your chances can improve with good medical care even though they can't actually kill the disease with antibiotics.

Dude. It's like totally drug resistant.

DarnoKonrad: It's only a matter of time. We misuse and abuse antibiotics so much evolution is going to bite us in the ass.

But Obama was totally abusing government power by trying to stop corporate mega farms and feed lots from pointlessly injecting herds "just to be safe." Damn those government regulations! The invisible God hand of the free market would easily cure drug resistant TB!

Quick, to Hemingford Home, Nebraska!

That is kinda stretching it, bro.

India is a shiathole, not a surprise in the least.

gilgigamesh: Time to modulate the frequencies.

Hey, it worked on the Borg.

It is a good day to die, and the day is not yet over.

Lost Thought 00: Don't go to a hospital, it will only make you sicker

/How can they know it's 100% drug proof?

They gave the patients all the drugs they had, and the patents still died :(

BullBearMS: Good news everybody. The cure for overpopulation has been discovered!

until it reaches a population near you...

Gee that's a shocker.

The toilets at Yankee Stadium after the 7th inning have less germs and pathogens than that entire filthy country.

Don't talk to anyone.
Don't touch anyone.

still no curry for cancer!!!

I don't "believe" in evolution, so I'm safe. Good luck heathens!

They also go and drink and bathe in the Ganges for chrissakes. People dump dead bodies in that river.

Lost Thought 00: Don't go to a hospital, it will only make you sicker

/How can they know it's 100% drug proof?

I think they mean 100% immune to the usual TB drugs...sure, they can start throwing random shiat at it, but that's an extremely long shot, to say the least.

Jake Havechek: They also go and drink and bathe in the Ganges for chrissakes. People dump dead bodies in that river.

People dump dead bodies in all rivers. Stolen cars too.

EbolaNYC: India is a shiathole, not a surprise in the least.

If anything is going to be farking "xyz strain of apocalyptic diseases", it's going to come out of some shiathole like India or some other place that is useless.

DarthQueeg: Quick, to Hemingford Home, Nebraska!

gilgigamesh: Time to modulate the frequencies.

Hey, it worked on the Borg.

No no, you have to reverse the polarity for this one, and maybe add an inverted tachyon sweep to be sure those dirty Klingons are wiped out.

/wait... what?

BullBearMS: Good news everybody. The cure for overpopulation has been discovered!

This...

Sarah Palin's Conscience: I am shocked, SHOCKED, that a drug-resistant strain would pop up in a country as clean and well-maintained as India.

Shocked!

...and this.

When the concentration of alcohol in beer gets too high, the bacteria choke on their own shiat and die. Sort of like we're about to do.

I called tech support because my Dell laptop's wallpaper was all messed up. Of course, an Indian guy answers with a ton of call center squabbling in the background. I can barely understand him to begin with, but on top of that, he's got this really nasty, phlegm-drenched cough. He tells me to "right-HACKHACKAAAHRGHHAHCK-WHEEZE-on the desktop." I'm like, "What?" He says, "Right HAHHHHHAAAHHCCCCCKKKAACCHHH WHEEZE WHEEZE-". Then I heard a wet sound, like someone throwing a bucket of paint against a wall. The phone drops to the ground and then there's all this screaming and commotion. Then the sound of flames, quiet at first and then roaring. I figured someone was cooking fish in the microwave again, but I haven't been able to get a hold of them since.

On the positive side, TB didn't wipe out humanity before we know how to treat.
Still not feeling to good about working in an office that is half populated by Indians who rotate in and out of country frequently.

Sticky Hands: Jake Havechek: They also go and drink and bathe in the Ganges for chrissakes. People dump dead bodies in that river.

Yeah, but you don't drink directly from the Hudson in the Manhattan, do you?

Well, I hope you die.

EVERYBODY PANEER!

Oh yea, and all those radical vegans that are persecuting the livestock industry as well. Hidden agendas and all that.

Congrats, you've given me the hiccups due to high laughter.
