It is high time we get out of here. The longer we stay the more chance we all have if getting a hospital acquired infection. I always brushed this warning aside when the docs in the ICU told us we need to get out of here as soon as possible before he gets another infection.
Well just the other day I was reading about this superbug that killed several patients at the NIH hospital in DC (which I believe is also the site of the next Phase of the Epi trial). This bacteria was so persistent it survived vigorous isolation procedures, disinfection with bleach and even some of the plumbing was changed. It continued to spread killing 6 and infecting many others.
