Resistant bacteria might mean the end of "routine" operations within 20 years according to a senior NHS spokeswoman on TV this morning.

This rang alarm bells for me, because my Dad is happily walking around on two replacement hips. There probably isn't a hereditary weakness, he blames his football days, but I've had a bit of pain from one hip recently too.

It's worth considering whether your activities are, literally, having an impact on your joints.

And incredibly silly. Plague population levels have only existed in the last few hundred years max. before that numbers did not pose a threat to the planetary systems.
