Antibiotic-resistant superbugs are in the news. The overuse of antibiotics around the world has not only diminished their effectiveness, but it has also helped breed ever-tougher bacteria. Doctors are often accused of overprescription of antibiotics, but to no avail. They do not want to be accused of being negligent with their patients, who ask for antibiotics when the going gets tough. Until the patient-doctor dynamic is changed, assuming that such a change can be expected, superbugs will continue to spread. According to some researchers, they may become deadlier than cancer by the middle of this century. And then there are researchers who claim that superbugs are as great a threat to humanity as climate change, and perhaps even greater. What is even worse, some researchers argue that climate change is likely to bolster the spread of superbugs in the form of deadly pandemics. Going through a growing number of such stories on the World Wide Web, I am occasionally tempted to burst into laughter. What else is in store? The way I look at it, the faster the human population collapses to a tiny fraction of its present size, the shorter will the horror last. And the sooner will survivors face the world I consider more than welcoming to the human species in the very long run. In my book, superbugs are only helping along in their own unwitting way. Whatever else is in store, it cannot but help along, as well.
