While scientists and public health experts expend laserlike focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, another scourge is slowly marching forth. According to Business Insider, experts say bacterial infections are in the process of becoming a COVID-19-level threat. The CDC says nearly 3 million Americans per year contract an antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection. Of those, roughly 35,000 die. At current rates, the WHO estimates that around 10 million people could die from antibiotic-resistant infections annually by 2050. What's more, the pandemic has shown how unprepared the US health system is to handle the growing threat of bacterial infections. Many scientists are pinning their hopes on phages, a type of virus that can target and kill specific kinds of bacteria.
