This is interesting because, as of July 5 of this year, "It was the first case of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the United States." Nobody can PROVE it of course, but this is probably a result of overprescription of antibiotics, and people not following doctor's directions, combined with stuff like antibiotic hand soap available over the counter. So what do we do when the bugs are resistant to everything we have? The answer is we die."

  Either that, or the poster has been possessed by the disembodied spirit of William Shatner.
