Super Clap Bug is Coming

Scientists have found a "superbug" strain of gonorrhea in Japan that is resistant to all recommended antibiotics and say it could transform a once easily treatable infection into a global public health threat.

The new strain of the sexually transmitted disease -- called H041 -- cannot be killed by any currently recommended treatments for gonorrhea, leaving doctors with no other option than to try medicines so far untested against the disease.

Magnus Unemo of the Swedish Reference Laboratory for Pathogenic Neisseria, who discovered the strain with colleagues from Japan in samples from Kyoto, described it as both "alarming" and "predictable."

"Since antibiotics became the standard treatment for gonorrhea in the 1940s, this bacterium has shown a remarkable capacity to develop resistance mechanisms to all drugs introduced to control it," he said.

In a telephone interview Unemo, who will present details of the finding at a conference of the International Society for Sexually Transmitted Disease Research (ISSTDR) in Quebec, Canada on Monday, said the fact that the strain had been found first in Japan also followed an alarming pattern.
"Japan has historically been the place for the first emergence and subsequent global spread of different types of resistance in gonorrhea," he said.

That's it, game over man. I'm starting to think these rapture people might just have been on to something, they were just a little bit off with the times frame. I mean we're getting 100 degree heat waves, flooding in the midswest, Phoenix being drowned by a damn dust cloud, and now a Super Gonnorhea bug? If there's one thing that can drown out the humans race its a super gonnorhea bug. No more sex, no more kids. Boom, done and done. We might as well just give up here folks, because I don't think any of us can escape a superbug of the clap. Hide yo kids, hide yo wives, because the Clap is coming and its gonna be raping errybody.
