Superbugs and the Economy

[Tom Young]

I would like to discuss the subject of superbugs... for humans and animals, and crops.

I believe this may be THE number one subject for major concern in the neartime future. Not only for health... (life and death), but for the economy. I believe that is soon as 2025, the effect of superbugs on crops, could change the US economy from number one to much further down among the most populous countries.

A domino effect that is moving faster than technology could even begin to control.

Before replying, suggest Googling "Superbug" in the news.

Here's a "heads up" https://wallstreetwindow.com/2019/0...ic-weapon-food-charles-hugh-smith-05-29-2019/

Before the invention of the motor car, I'm sure someone predicted that by now we would be 6 feet deep in horse sh1t. I don't pay much attention to scare stories.

The superbugs are already here. We have flesh eating bacteria, MRSA, C-Diff, VRE etc. Heck, we have people in the 21st century dying of measles, flu. We can't effectively treat a number of diseases that are just waiting to jump from animal to human.
I'm afraid of going into a hospital, especially as I grow older.

And if we stop using antibiotics, how do we cure infected animals? We'll have 'regular bugs' which respond to antibiotics, which we don't use.
