Super bug to infect more than 50% of Americans
GrizzlyBear Offer Upgrade User ID: 1267512 United States 12/31/2013 11:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Super bug to infect more than 50% of Americans A new strain of norovirus that wreaks havoc on people's stomachs is so vicious that it's being called a " superbug" by doctors. Because no one has immunity to this new strain, more Americans - perhaps 50 percent more, the CDC says - could become violently ill. [link to abcnews.go.com] Rule#4 Double Tap.

Although not something I want to see come to fruition. Don't particularly like the flu and this one sounds pretty nasty. I hope people who come down with symptoms stay their asses home and not out 'spreading the disease.' Ha, see what I did there?! Rule#4 Double Tap.

Hardly doom, but with 150 million people sick, that is a lot of lost productivity in the work place. Of those 150 million, how many have health care coverage? This is just going to be nasty, yuk!
