So Zika is everywhere these days now it seems.

It even has a twitter now, sort of

Here is a map of DANGEROUS PLACES, so don't go there. More red the worse it is.



Here is places to avoid in the US specifically,



There is currently no cure for it, so don't plan on having kids if you get infected because you'll get small headed kids. If you want to see it yourself, just type zika baby into a search engine.

But wait there is more!

Antibiotic-resistant superbug surfaces in US for first time

An antibiotic-resistant strain of E coli was found last month in the urine of a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman, the report said. The report added that Defense Department researchers have determined that the strain is resistant to colistin.

Colistin, the report explains, is the "antibiotic of last resort for particularly dangerous types of superbugs".

So now we got e coli that can't die.

Honorable shout out to ebola.

http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/

SO if you live in a zika area, wear mosquito repellent that probably does nothing, or just stay inside all the time. Have a nice memorial day weekend too.

edit : found a map with Australia on it. New Zealand is gone I guess.

It's because it's much more profitable for drug companies to put out dick pill ads and crank out antidepressants which people will be taking for the rest of their lives, instead of putting R&D into something that people only use for 10 days once every few years.

Depending on how strong the telepathy is, maybe they could operate as a hive mind and then each brain would just be a node.

Well, for one, if you go into a Chinese hospital for any reason at all, you will come out with a carrier bag full of antibiotics. I've had doctors trying to prescribe me antibiotics for a loving cold.

Second, the Chinese meat industry is pumping animals full of antibiotics since it makes them grow bigger.

Hopefully everywhere on the planet becomes a hotbed for zika, since it doesn't actually do much to adults, but causes birth defects, maybe we'll see a downturn in the birthrate and finally start thinning out the number of humans on this overpopulated rock and then maybe I can finally find a closer parking spot at Target on the weekend.

e: I guess it can cause Guillain–Barré syndrome sometimes but my point still stands
