You are very welcome :)

What I'm even more worried about is the possibility of developing Viral Resistance in AIDS patients that are being given anti-virals for their whole life.Imagine anti-viral-resistant HIV!!!

This is great, we need more of this

The first RI lecture I went to, it was so inspirational and I loved every second of it

Hey :) which is your favorite?

Dame Davies is excellent speaker, and worth paying attention to.

Excellent talk.

33:30 I'm watching this on covid lockdown as she talks about how difficult it would be to stop an outbreak in a city. Thanks Dame Sally, I think we got the message...

My aunt had a flesh eating baterial infection and she nearly died last July and she spent over 2 months in ICU. She is alive today thanks to her doctors and currect antibiotics like vancomycin. Great talk. We will have another pandemic due to over antibiotic use and lack of due dilligence to encourage big pharma to invest and produce new antibiotics. Having any type of surgery in the future, definately will result in more deaths due to infections. Saddening to see this, but maybe life needs to take a turn for the worse for change to occur. It's interesting to see that one can purchase antibiotics from a pharmacist without a prescription outside the US. Antibiotics are widely used in agriculture in the US so that they can get from farm to market. I wouldn't say that they are given daily in the US, but it is used along with proper hygiene techniques. What is going to happen in this day and age (Co-V2 pandemic 2020-22) with the over use of antivirals such as remdesivir? It seems resistence might be possible even with these newly developed drugs.

When I was 9 yrs old in 1957, we had a DR. who still made house calls. My sister was sick was a really sore throat. Mom asked if he would order a penicillin, and he said "NO" as in his opinion it was being over used for everything and should be used only in extreme cases. That made sense to even me, and I wish that DR could have taught the world to be cautious. Three cheers for the old time GP who knew and understood illnesses and RX'S.

And it still doesn't have subtitles...

Thank you.

Having being born in the early '60s, there was no public knowledge of these problems. As a child, if my nose was running I had it wiped with the same cloth that had wiped the kitchen table. The kitchen table was then wiped a few hours later with the same (unwashed) cloth before we sat down to eat.We ate mud pies, shared bottles of drink without wiping our mouths etc. We developed a resistance to bugs/viruses etc. Just stop prescribing antibiotics unless the problem is life threatening

The true tragedy of the advent of antibiotic resistant bacteria is that the poor fungi that produce these antibiotics are no longer protected.

Hereby i lend 2nd surname of honor: 'Power' - Dame Sally Davies Power !!!

As a nurse working in an acute surgical ward....we give out I.v antibiotics like smarties. Multiple antibiotics for simple infections. Even when there is no indication of infection they patients are still prescribed a huge amount of them for very long periods of time.

what about using synthetic virology

_"Antimicrobial resistance is the most complex and pressing challenge since climate change."_ So, climate change is over now? Phew! Sixth Mass Extinction averted! PS. I'm Swedish and a bit stupid, but how about changing the word "since" out with the word "after", "behind" or similar, which might indicate they are simultaneous, but one somewhat more Terminal than the other?

@KomradJenrol

Because A) the speaker clearly made the case that AMR is, to human society, more "terminal" than climate change, and does not consider AMR to come "after" or "behind" it, and B) in common usage, "since" is a pretty neutral term referring to the fact that awareness of AMR came chronologically later than awareness of climate change, and in no way implies that climate change is "over" in any way.

I guess my answer is not re-appearing again, someone seem to have deleted it. Anyway. Complete extinction is obviously more terminal than some sick people, even if it is 90-99% of the population being sick and dying, with 1-10% remaining. It is nothing near as terminal as the networks that is our ecosystem unravelling and all multicellular life collapsing. Waste of time to say more, yes? Extinction of humans, will be hard to recover from. Who will revive us? When? Where? Kurzweil will save us in The Singularity and send us off to other solar systems, as A.I?

Doesn't washing your hands with anti microbial soap seem kind of counter intuitive?

50% mortality in those school kids. What she leaves out when saying she fears going back to sunshine and fresh air as treatment is the natural immunity gained in the next generation. We're so busy artificially selecting humans for survival that we've forgotten about natural selection. It's the mechanism responsible for our immune system and we're ignoring it.

That is the same attitude towards antibiotics that got us into this mess in the first place. Phages spread antibiotic resistance genes through horizontal gene transfer. There is also the exact same problem - over time pathogens develop resistance to phages, the same way they do to antibiotics. There is no simple "FTW" answer

Hmm how can they not? For example, our bodies have in built endocannabinoid systems throughout our entire bodies. Cannabinoids perfectly fir these receptors that control things like pain and disease resistance. its unequivocally there to receive cannabinoids and that is medicinal in itself. Sure not mainstream knowledge taught in private school education that is dominated by the current system but becoming mainstream knowledge thanks to channels and sources online :)

well, i dont think that is specifically the argument. Factually tho it IS an adjutant meaning less of any other 'drugs' is often possible right now and that is without the real research needed. we see it kill cancer cells in the lab, this is fact, i have seen it with my own eyes. where is the trillion dollars to push it forward? well, its blocked by the 2 trillion from pharma and alcohol corporations

This is black comedy that people are laughing for.

"Nasties developing resistance to antibiotics is a Seriously Bad Thing and we intend to fight it pretty much exclusively by asking you the take less antibiotics pretty please (with a cherry on top). Oh, and you might wanna bleach your hands regularly because washing them the way you do apparently does nothing much at all." There, I saved you an hour of your life, you can thank me later.
