This year it's MRSA or as the media is calling it, because MRSA doesn't sound scary enough, the SUPERBUG!! It seems every year there is new disease, bacteria or virus that the media latches onto as the next plague that could wipe out humanity. I did this cartoon because I think we often forget that only last year it was a different bug and I think remembering that is the kind of perspective that's needed in these discussions.
