Guess everything kills you in Australia

Practicing safe sex would help.

[ignhelper]

Or no sex

[shodan]

Can't have unsafe sex if you're not getting any

So not only is Australia one of the most dangerous places to live. You can now also catch Super Aids.

Now even bacteria and viruses are trying to get in on the "everything in Australia is deadly/deadlier" meme.

[Headhumpy]

To be fair, the two cases of highly resistant gonorrhea infections seen so far (this one and the one seen in the UK earlier this year) likely originate from Southeast Asia.

[Desaster56]

Note the article says the disease is resistant to "routine antibiotics", new forms of antibiotics are being researched and created everyday, some of which may be able to treat this new form, however that requires further testing.

[Headhumpy]

Don't even need that. There are second-line treatments, for example the case in the UK was treated with IV ertapenem after ceftriaxone and spectinomycin failed. The follow up is due sometime mid-April but I'm not sure if the results have been released yet.

They really need to stop attaching "Super" in front of serious diseases because for some reason it is just extremely funny to me when it absolutely should not be. It's like super-AIDS or super-diabetes.

[Gmod4ever]

My friends used to always joke about "Super Gonorrhea-Syphil-AIDS". Now their joke is slowly becoming reality.

I fear what other things they used to joke about...

[AtomicSans]

Well, antibiotics resistance is increasingly a thing so yeah. That is becoming reality.

[GeekOfWires]

Pardon me for my immaturity but this is the first thing that came to my mind.

It's mostly within the older community as they can't get pregnant anymore and thus they don't use rubbers as a result.

2018 update: straya still wants to kill you

[JerryAnderson]

I'm curious what we'll do in the future to treat infections. We can't just keep making new strains of antibiotics indefinitely when one suddenly stops working. What will we come up with for a permanent solution?

[ViralHatred]

Nanobots that'll kill bacteria or some shit.

We're humans, we're all about making things do things for us.

[lekkimsm]

Might as well in advance rip of yer' dick, cork your vagina, and pour concrete in your asshole.

The next decade, gonorrhea is probably grow arms or some shit like that.

[Headhumpy]

We can, or rather, we have to. There can be no permanent solution because bacteria will always be around, and they will always be evolving.

[Grink Of Meat]

I'm imagining some super nasty-ass skank-man or woman being the ground-zero of this.
