Comment on Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died
just_another_person@lemmy.world 6 months agoMRSA is not that common. Most people get it from contact in medical facilities, but some people (very few) do carry it around.
When someone contracts it and becomes seriously ill, it usually means they weren’t a carrier to begin with, or had an immunodeficiency that allowed the pathogen to overtake an equilibrium with their immune system. They do hardcore contact tracing if someone actually dies from it, and if nobody around this guy had it…quite suspicious. That’s all I’m saying.

He was sick in hospital with pneumonia, before he got MRSA though. In hospital ls there’s a higher chance to catch MRSA, especially if someone is already weakened by a severe lung infection.

Absolutely, my toddler had MRSA within a few days after he was born and its most likely due to some contamination or something to the effect.
Hospitals are a severe breeding grounds for resistant bacterial strains via sewage.
