What scale do you think is implied by the article? It's very clear about the numbers and the populations afflicted.

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.

The claim isn't that candida in particular is likely to spread to healthier pops. It's REALLY important to note what claims are and are not being made, here. I don't know enough to either criticize or defend the UK study.

Yeah, wasn't sure about their wording there, that's a fair reading. But the same critique applies to a lesser extent to other drug resistant bugs. Some can infect healthy people all right, but the worst ones mostly don't.
