Doctors in India confirmed this week that they’re treating 12 cases of people suffering from total drug resistant (TDR) tuberculosis (TB) prompting news organization DNAIndia to declare ‘this is as scary as it can get’.
The apocalyptic potential of the new antibiotic resistant strain of the deadly disease comes because “each person with active TB can infect 10 to 15 people a year’, the Times of India reported, noting that the six men and women currently identified with the disease (one of whom has already died) have an average age of just 32.3.
“TB is a contagious disease,” the Times added, “Like the common cold, it spreads through the air.”
Infectious disease specialist Dr Om Shrivastav from Jaslok hospital, where the patients are currently isolated, was similarly apocalyptic.
“TB is no longer a poor man’s disease. I am seeing more and more people from all sections of society suffering from TB,” the Doctor told DNAIndia.
“The manifestation of the disease has changed and it is no longer restricted to the chest. We are seeing TB infection in scalp, skin and even nails,” he added.

The Daily Mail reported this week that increasing numbers of ‘ordinary people are stockpiling their larders with non-perishable food, buying water-purifying pumps and camping stoves’, in response to growing fears about economic meltdown in 2012.
Referencing the government’s claim that Britain is ‘nine meals from anarchy’ following the fuel protests in 2000, when the country’s ‘just-in-time supermarket food supply lines’ meant shops were close to running out of food, the Mail also quizzed food expert Professor Tim Lang.
‘There is a mass psychology of insecurity at the moment and I think that is worrying,” the Professor of Food Policy at City University London told the Mail. “Quietly, but inexorably, the problem of food security has entered into the mass consciousness,” he said. (Mail: http://bit.ly/sHPlUL )
The dangers of disorder were also highlighted by 40 something Daily Telegraph writer Graeme Archer who wrote about moving out of fashionable, though impoverished, inner city zone Hackney, directly as a result of this summer’s riots.
“I walked home with the taste of fear in my gullet that night, through a swirl of boys whose eyes seemed almost inhuman, coolly appraising potential victims like a banker picking out a tie,” he admitted.
“What happens when interest rates rise? When those who remortgaged endlessly in the boom years find they can’t afford their home – people who look like you and me, who currently sit quietly when rioters take over the streets, and look away when drunks vent their frustration through racism,” he asked.
