Mid-West Nile

by funklord

I was never convinced West Nile was a serious threat, but this story comes from theFunklord’s old stomping grounds.  The mayor gets West Nile while recovering from Cancer.  He was not the first, as apparently others have been effected in the neighboring towns.

Every article is the same:  Some “rare” disease rears it head, an expert explains how the chances of the disease effecting anyone are “one-in-a-million”, and the report goes on to detail all the people that have been infected.

Again, I have no idea why so many of these diseases are making the news, but they are.  Is the Media seeking them out because they are so rampant, or are they rampant so they have no choice but to report?

Horseman of Pestilence

This is the third post dedicated to disease since the FFP started rolling out worldwide.  Today’s submission is a crotch shot worthy of an Olympic basketball game.

Gonorrhea is on its way to being untreatable.  Let me repeat that:  Gonorreah is becoming UNTREATABLE due to overuse of anti-biotics.  We here at the FFP have a very strict screening process in place when it comes to potential sexual partners, but those with a less strict protocol should read this immediately.  Also this article was published by the Washington Post, outlining the long-term plan.

On top of that, in Minnesota a child died from an infection caused by an amoeba.  While admittedly this is a rare occurrence, it does come at a time when a lot of supposedly rare diseases are making a comeback.  Are the strains getting stronger, or are we getting weaker?
