'Superbugs' are a hidden danger in the fight against coronavirus, says former CDC director

As the U.S. prepares to reopen during the pandemic, authorities should be ready to retrace their steps if easing of social distancing measures don't work — otherwise, they could be right where they started, warned the former director of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.

"I think what we've proven is that the social distancing measures that have been recommended actually work, but when you pull back from those, you can only expect that there are going to be hotspots just like Dr. Fauci described." As of Thursday morning Asia time, the number of reported coronavirus infections in the U.S. topped 1.3 million, with more than 84,000 people killedGerberding warned of another "hidden danger" of the coronavirus — "superbugs." They are germs that have adapted and become resistant to different types of antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause.
