"The pipeline of new drugs to fight superbugs remains 'worryingly thin' and has shrunk by 35% in the last five years, experts have warned, predicting the annual number of deaths linked to drug-resistant infections globally will double to 8 million by 2050."

A reminder than bacteria and viruses are always one step ahead of us and that we should never become complacent.
A microbial horror show — an overview of some of the most devastating infectious diseases in history.
Dare to be scared, and be inspired by the stunning advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of life-threatening infections.
Featuring cholera, measles and the plague, and many more.
This is pretty cool

A reminder that measles cannot be treated, it can only be prevented.
It is one of the most contagious diseases in the world and can cause blindness, deafness and life-threatening lung and brain infections.
A reminder that it's not a question if but when there will be another global pandemic.
It can happen any moment, and we need to be prepared.

What do the Black Death, cholera and COVID have in common?
Each caused massive disruption - but also sparked life-saving breakthroughs in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.
New challenges like climate change, antibiotic resistance and vaccine hesitancy put this progress at risk.
