Surviving the new killer BUG
time magazine

This is not bird flu, SARS or even the flesh eating bacteria. However, it is every bit as dangerous even if it goes by an uncommonly ungainly name: community acquired methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. Medical researches had proven that such diseases spreads by contact. Hence, if it gets into any community that's fairly close knitted, all it needs is to be passed. Like SARS or bird flu, there isn't any cure to it just yet, still, people could take on precautionary measures to prevent such illnesses.

At the same time, I believe it kept many wondering as to why innoculations for many new diseases have not been cultivated despite our advancement in sciences. Does such hints provide clues that mother nature are proving to human beings that they could never play God? or maybe the myth stating that earth and its people will soon get exhausted was never wrong from the start?
