Report: Superbugs Could Result In 10 Million Deaths Each Year By 2050.

The world could have a deadly and expensive problem on its hands if the growing fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria stays on the same track, according to a dire new warning. The so-called superbugs, if left unchecked, could result in 10 million deaths each year by 2050 — more than the number of people killed by cancer — and put a $100 trillion dent in the global economy, according to a new report commissioned by United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron. The analysis, which projects a 2 percent to 3.5 percent drop in global economic output, comes from RAND Europe and KPMG. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/12/12/superbugs-could-soon-kill-more-people-than-cancer/
