Antibiotics

There is a bacterial pneumonia spreading rapidly across China and it has now appeared in the West. Many are not aware that Chinese people use antibiotics for almost every illness and they can buy them over the counter. The concern centers around a fear that scientist have expressed for many years and have warned people not to use antibiotics indiscriminately. The concern is that a new bacteria that is immune to existing antibiotics may have evolved. Once this is discovered there are medical procedures that allow the development of new antibiotics but this many take time. This new bacteria is most dangerous for children.
