‘Impossible to treat’ superbugs on rise in Ukraine, scientists warn
Bacteria exhibit extreme antibiotic resistance
weren't there a bunch of US biolabs in Ukraine?
Now, now
That was Russian propaganda, but yes
Honestly, superbugs are already occurring in Europe, although they are rare. With the war causing a ton of additional injuries, tons more people are exposed to antibiotics, so it's fairly reasonable that this would occur.
I don't think we need secret biolabs or stuff like that to explain this, and In fairness l think it will be a major issue for any future war, just like infections were before antibiotics were discovered.
Epidemiologic situation in Ukraine (and to a lesser extent in other post-Soviet countries too) has been worsening since 1991.
no way to explain that
I was reaidng one of those Cool Russia blogs at one point because i was researching something and it was on epidemiology in the USSR. The article was titled something like "The USSR conquered disease, but is that the whole story?". It basically talks about soviet immunization campaigns, and then at the end complains that in the USSR the soda fountains only had 2 glass cups people shared.
The racistly named Spanish Flu evolved in WW1, and it has been speculated that selective pressures due to the war caused it to increase spreadability and lower incubation times. Wonder if this is a similar thing.
That's what I suspect, also a fun fact is that one of the first recorded cases of the Spanish flu appeared at Fort Riley in Kansas.
The only reason why t'was called the "Spanish flu" in the first place, was because as a neutral nation in WW1, it had no reason to hide the news during wartime, but their national coverage ultimately associated them as the influenza place of origin.
Since they are antibiotic resistant bacteria, I have the suspicion that this is related to an increased use in antibiotics due to war injuries. Probably made worse by shortages that make people unable to finish the full regime all the time.
This war births a new horror every other month
Ah fuck, I thought the US would get the bird flu first
The news bingo does specify two new plagues...
Fallout Timeline Achievment Unlocked: New Plague Discovered
oh, not actual bugs.
I liked this better when it was a king gizzard song
Just applied for a position to Antarctica. Seems like good timing , deployment in October so please hold of a while on the double pandemic
I knew someone who didn't wind up going because their partner failed the fitness test (this was back in like... 2009)
Something biolabs genetic engineering......
Can we keep this stuff in c/doomer, there's nothing I can do about it and it's just increasing my already skyrocketed anxiety
noted for future posts
