The fear of the day.

Jack, that's awful. It's true that staph is nasty, even when it's not drug-resistent. And that the latest round is resistent.

Compromised immune systems can be trouble- a guy we used to know was having chemo for lymphoma. He got a fungal infection and it literally killed parts of his face before they got it under control. Bad scene.

But it's also true that news in LA relies heavily on scare tactics. We joke about the "newest danger sweeping the Southland- is your home at risk? Find out tonight".
