Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine, recently told a news channel that the superbug might be a lot worse than AIDS in the short run, as the bacteria is more aggressive and will affect more people quickly.
He said that getting gonorrhea from this strain may put a person into septic shock and death in a matter of days, claiming that the bug was very dangerous.
William Smith, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors, reportedly said that it is an emergency situation and as time moves on, the bug is getting more hazardous.
