Imagine that...all those immigrants and refugees from other countries are the ones bringing this over here...and the United Nations and many other nations are just letting them in regardless of the risks...some people are just plain stupid shortsighted jackals.
It has been found that most cases seem to have originated from India and Pakistan.  I wonder how many of those that come to the U.S. carry this virus?  
Remember that when the colonists came over to the New World here in what was to become the new United States of America their virus's they brought with them dam near wiped out all the Indians, some tribes were completely wiped out, most very severely effected by them because they had no immunity because it did not exist on this side of the ocean.  
It's as if this was all planned ...a medical genocide of Europe and the Americas.

To be fair, it's not only people coming from those countries, but people in general are traveling to all parts of the globe more frequently than ever before. We go to their countries, they come to ours.

Actually it's all down to farmers pumping their livestock full of antibiotics and doctors dishing out antibiotics for every cough and sneeze like candies, so everyone's built up resistance to it all.

For the first time, researchers have found a person in the United States carrying bacteria resistant to antibiotics of last resort, an alarming development that the top U.S. public health official says could mean "the end of the road" for antibiotics.

The antibiotic-resistant strain was found last month in the urine of a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman. Defense Department researchers determined that she carried a strain of E. coli resistant to the antibiotic colistin, according to a study published Thursday in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a publication of the American Society for Microbiology. The authors wrote that the discovery "heralds the emergence of a truly pan-drug resistant bacteria."
