200 exposed to new superbug from UCLA lab.

[Trina]

This superbug is resistant to all medications, they say it is worse than MRSA. There are dates given for those who have had laparoscopic procedures in the regions. They are sending out letters of notification and home tests. It has caused deaths of, at this time they know of a few but could be more that could have been caused by this staff type infection. Not spread by air, only by contact with contaminated equipment or individuals wounds and such like MRSA is spread. Why would they use any instruments used in a lab in the facilities on people...can you say negligence!

Where do you come up the title 'New superbug from UCLA lab has infected  200"? 

Exposed and infected are two different things.

They were exposed to it. I emphasized that they are sending out home test kits to them. The CDC has put warnings out on endoscopes...
