\nThe short answer is yes, according to the World Health Organization. But of course, there is always more to the story than it seems. Unfortunately, our research and technology isn\u2019t developing as quickly as bacteria and viruses are.
\nThey are becoming more and more resistant, too, which is a major problem. Antibiotics that worked a few months ago, might not be suitable for another outbreak. Even if we are talking about the same disease. And then we haven\u2019t even mentioned those that resist more than one antibiotics.
\nThe good news is, that alternative ways of bypassing the resistance problem are constantly being researched. A short term fix is already available, but it is just that, a temporary solution.
\nThere is yet another problem that we have to face. Most of the developed medicine isn\u2019t something that\u2019s brand new and innovative. This adds to their temporary nature, but doesn\u2019t help humanity in the long term. Then there is the issue of clinical trials, and so on. Everything takes time, and that\u2019s something we are running out of. Well, apart from antibiotics, that is.
\nSo, should we be worried? Again, a difficult and complicated question. The solution might lie in eliminating the issue before it even happens. Prevention is the key here, and WHO has started working on that, alongside their antibiotics research. We can only hope that the two combined will provide a lasting solution.
\nLet\u2019s ask the cards what this means for us as individuals. Is there anything we can do to help improve the situation?\n<\/p>\n
The Chariot:<\/b> This card represents that we are in charge of our own life and health. Obviously not all diseases can be avoided, but a little extra care goes a long way. On a broader side, it\u2019s a positive card. Although there are setbacks at the moment, eventually we will get there.<\/p>\n
Four of Wands:<\/b> This card reminds us to look at all the beauty in the world. It might be that our situation doesn\u2019t look too good right now, but life is precious. Illness is always a reminder that we shouldn\u2019t take anything for granted. Appreciation and joy are due. Celebrate life itself!<\/p>\n
Knight of Wands:<\/b> These knights in shining armour represent the researchers, and everyone working alongside them to find a cure. They are full of energy and ideas, so it\u2019s only going to be a question of time before they succeed. Keep up the good work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
