I am truly sorry for your loss. I knew when I wrote that numbers never
tell the whole story since each one is a tragedy, but we all can count
the loss of family and friends to things that, in time, will be
conquered.
Even with resistance, we are fortunate to live at a time when medicine
is providing antibiotics that work. A good friend recently had both
MSRA and COPD and antibiotics got her through it. Twenty years ago,
she would never have made it.
Again, I am sorry for your loss.
Bill
