US Superbug Infections Are Rising, Black Plague Hits China!
“And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and PESTILENCES; and there will be great and fearful signs from heaven.” Luke 21:11
This latest article from the AP says that antibiotics are still being defeated at alarming rates. The Bible talks about this in the scripture above as well. Earlier today I saw this article about the black death or pneumonic plague rearing it’s ugly head in China! Think about that for a second. “
Two patients in China were diagnosed with plague, the deadly and infectious disease tied to historic pandemics, local media reported.
The two people, from Inner Mongolia, were treated for pneumonic plague in Beijing’s Chaoyang district, local health officials said Tuesday, according to Caixin and state-media Xinhua.
The news outlets reported the patients received “proper treatment,” and disease control measures and prevention methods have been taken.
According to Caixin, the patients were treated at Chaoyang Hospital, which has since replaced all chairs in its emergency room.”
And even though deaths are down overall, there has still been a rise in the number of superbug cases nationwide. Below is from this article I found on the AP today.
Indeed, though deaths are going down, nonfatal infections grew nationally from 2.6 million in 2013 to 2.8 million in 2017. Some worrisome new germs are emerging. And superbugs are appearing much more often outside of hospitals, the report says.
For example, urinary tract infections have been easily treated in doctor’s offices with common antibiotics. But it’s increasingly common to see young healthy women with such infections forced into the hospital after initial treatments don’t work, said Dr. Bradley Frazee, a California emergency room doctor.
“We never really worried about this kind of antibiotic resistance in the past,” said Frazee, who last year co-authored a journal article documenting more than 1,000 drug-resistant urinary tract infections in one year at Highland Hospital in Oakland.
Ladies and gentlemen this is just another sign that we are indeed in the birth pangs of the tribulation. Stay prayed up and prepped up as always!
