GUEST2513	The superbug was firstly discovered in India. A rumor said that it was invented by a pharmaceutical corp. Is this real? Sounds like a biochemical war. It is said that the antibiotics has been used randomly in China. I am worried that how China is going to cope with it if it spreads in China.

It sounds like a true story. However, I believe Chinese biotech is beyond India home and abroad I believe Chinese herbal meds can cope with it if western radical treatment is not able to handle it. Since we and Indian are quite similar in life phylosophy, and even Indian is even much better to utilize it real life. The same applies to superbug. Since we are quick learner, Chinese should 'steal' the prescriptions from Indian who should have invented the anti superbug that prevent it from spreading in their own country.

GUESTLIUYUN	China should take some prevention measures as soon as they can. Like GUEST2513 said, the antibiotics have been used randomly in China. If the superbug spreads in China, it will be a disaster.
