I don't think the
sky is falling just yet. What we're seeing here is likely a VERY early warning sign of a challenge coming up for pharmaceuticals. At this point, there is not yet any "untreatable" Gonorrhea, and there will not be for some time. What we're seeing are more resistant strains than we've seen before, not totally untreatable ones, and these strains are still rare (1.7% of all CDC samples). We've got plenty of time left to avoid a scenario in which untreatable Gonorrhea is common, assuming such a scenario is even likely at any point.
The warning bells we're seeing going off now are going to help ensure that a solution is acquired soon. There is going to be a lot of money in it for the next company that creates a new and effective antibiotic to mitigate and/or deal with this development, and there will be increased public awareness as well due to the somewhat frightening article titles we're seeing.
There are likely already new antibiotics under development as we speak behind closed doors that have yet to be publicized. I highly doubt, given the significance of this news and the potential for massive profit any solution will have, that pharmaceutical companies and many governments have just been and continue to be sitting on their asses and doing nothing (word of more resistant Gonorrhea has been spreading since last year-they've had time). It is only a matter of time before this beast is tamed.
In the meantime, get your women tested before you bareback them. Don't get scared, just get wise. Use a few more precautions (read: condoms, testing, etc) and we'll all be fine.
