The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

Yes, this new strain of bacterium is worrisome as it is resistant to all known pharmaceuticals.

Lord have mercy. I knew the wife of a man who somehow picked up this strain.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

To avoid getting sick from such things, follow the instructions I gave earlier about avoiding catching MRSA.
Similar approaches.

There could be mass illnesses in the future, some observers believe.
So it's time to get prepared with essential oils and much else.

I will post an introductory article about the multi-layered benefits of Aromatherapy here in Misc.

The situation is getting desperate.

Police must wear masks whenever they encounter people.

Of course, the homeless are being singled out, but non-homeless persons, such as nurses, doctors, and vendors who have contact with the homeless may also become infected especially if they work long hours and do not get enough sleep. Lack of sleep depresses one's immune system.

Who might be infected? Anyone who visits Los Angeles, boards a jet out of Los Angeles, or takes a train or bus could be infected.

As I mentioned earlier, I knew about this strain of antibiotic resistant TB way back in 1994. When I was in college, I took a health class in 2002, where this strain of TB was discussed as co-infecting those who suffered from AIDS as their immune systems were shot. The text also stated that it was spreading in all countries were the AIDS epidemic was found. Not surprisingly, this was not discussed in the current news report. Yet, the homeless were being targeted.

Let us pray for the homeless.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Wow, Maria. That is really horrible sounding. It is almost apocalyptic. I trust that you are well protected. God help you down there in LA.
