This is just "Mother Nature" trying to exert some badly needed population control. And while this story focuses on just one Disease (Gonorrhea). There are now multiple diesases that are resistant to all but the latest generation of antibiotics. Most notably Staph infections (frighteningly these are mostly picked up in Hospitals) and necrofasitus (The flesh eating disease).

Doctors are finally cutting back on antibiotic prescriptions. If you have a cold don't run to your doctor and beg for a prescription. Fight it off naturally with rest and fluids.

That is an old story. Dates back four or five years.

Maybe even a little BBFS with a SW is in order!
