India encephalitis outbreak kills 400, mainly children

Prophecy Sign:  Pestilence and disease in the last days

Disease has always been a major cause of death around the globe over the centuries. Even today, new diseases along with ones thought to be eradicated, are making their presence felt in nations around the world. It's just an indication that the world is but one major and significant global event away from the return of plagues and disease. Just as the book of Revelation foretells.

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”  I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.  Revelation 6:7-8 NIV

From the articles:

More than 400 people, mainly children, have died in an outbreak of viral encephalitis in northern India, health officials say. So far 2,300 patients have been admitted to a hospital in the affected Gorakhpur area of Uttar Pradesh state. A doctor told the BBC that it was a "tragedy beyond imagination", with children dying every day. Nearly 6,000 children have died of encephalitis in the hospital since the first case was detected in 1978.

UK doctors are being told the antibiotic normally used to treat gonorrhoea is no longer effective because the sexually transmitted disease is now largely resistant to it. The Health Protection Agency says we may be heading to a point when the disease is incurable unless new treatments can be found. For now, doctors must stop using the usual treatment cefixime and instead use two more powerful antibiotics. One is a pill and the other a jab. The HPA say the change is necessary because of increasing resistance.
