Infection fighters lose final weapon

I feel like the aliens in War of the Worlds. Doomed to die of a common infection. Doomed because so many stupid people have used antibotics incorrectly, despite very specific warnings from their physicians. As evidenced by this article last year and this briefing from the CDC published on July 3rd, our last line of defense against common bacterial infection is no longer effective.

Here is a sobering analysis and timeline of the bug army's advance. That analysis was published before the terrible events of this week. Now, the hypothesized doomsday has arrived!
