FWIW, as someone with some relevant expertise (microbiology PhD) I tend to agree with Bob here -a bad problem, but not nearly as apocalyptic as the media (and some scientists tbf) make out.
Article does not describe the problem as "apocalyptic," and Bob's description is not accurate. The article simply cited a UK dept of health review. No strong claims that I can see.pic.twitter.com/swSogTDQdd

The article as a whole read as very apocalyptic to me, and that matches the reactions I've seen elsewhere. Unlikely to spread to healthier pops significantly, immunocompetent people don't really get severe Candida. Very suspicious of the death projections.

Note that determining cause of death here is often hard -"what killed her, was it the cancer, or the chemo, or the Acinetobacter infection?" E.g., a lot of the deaths attributed to resistant bugs may be of folks already on death's door.
