Yeah. Super-bugs are scary, but we can "fix" those fairly "easily" as well.

It sucks that science doesn't mean anything in the pandemic to a lot of people.
The governor in South Carolina wouldn't put a mask requirement in place, but did encourage cities and businesses to. I'm in one of the most conservative counties in the state and all four of our cities over 10k people put them in this past week (three just today), and the entire - much more liberal - county across the river put one in last week. I was pleasantly surprised that the notification on our neighborhood FB group got a lot more happy faces than frowns.
I wonder how much of it was the Governor ending his last talk by threatening to do in all high school and college sports in the state if it didn't start getting a lot better.

Antibiotics at least have an effect on them. Viruses aren't affected by antibiotics, so maybe I should have said "more easily".
Also, superbugs normally can be avoided if you take your full prescription of anti-biotics, as well. Superbugs are made by us, so if we limit the way we make them, we can deal with the problem.
Also, superbugs can be very deadly, but viruses are normally more contagious than bacteria.

I’m not laughing. I’m crying.
Depends on the superbug. Some of the nastier ones are virtually immune to most of the antibiotics we have, at least, singly. That’s when they hit you with a “coctail” of antibiotics.
Crap.

This is the first study I’ve seen that supported the virologist’s fears about COVID-19 related brain damage beyond loss of smell & taste. It’s VERY preliminary, but not comforting.
Scientists warn of potential wave of COVID-linked brain damage
Scientists warned on Wednesday of a potential wave of coronavirus-related brain damage as new evidence suggested COVID-19 can lead to severe neurological complications, including inflammation, psychosis and delirium.

That's a huge "if" though.
