The government medical study report has warned that more than 90,000 Americans have been infected with a highly drug-resistant staph superbug, and experts warn that the disease might rival AIDS in death rate. The superbug is believed to be responsible for the death of a high school senior in West Virginia, and some schools have closed to disinfect the entire building. Experts advise the public to curb the usage of antibiotics and washing hands frequently. A quarter of the infected people came from hospitals, but the disease is spreading to public places.
