Gonorrhea growing resistant to drugs, WHO warns
This article is about the wide spread of the STI, Gonorrhea, and how this infection is become resistant to drugs and may soon become untreatable which was told by the World Health Organization. The article states that any babies who are born to mothers with gonorrhea have a 50 per cent chance of developing eye infections that can result in blindness. I believe that the idea of this STI becoming immune to antibiotics and other drugs is disturbing and intriguing. The STI has proven it strong and has beaten some of the effects of drugs which show signs of development in the virus. This is astonishing to be able to interpret that the infection is becoming strong. This is also disturbing because this means that this infection can now infect people and could become untreatable, which is not a good outcome. If 50 per cent chances of children who are born from mothers with this STI develop eye infections, this can be devastating to the future generation. Citizens and students will have to worry about different ways of obtaining this infection and will have to make sure they try their hardest to not obtain or spread the virus around. Professionals will have to look into the study and will have to begin to find new antibiotics or cures to this infection.

Scientists determine Earth has 5.7 million species
This article is about how scientists have determined how many species there are on planet Earth. After around three centuries, they have come up with that there are around 8.7 million species. Scientists study that around 6.5 million species live on the land; 2.2 million are in the ocean. In these numbers, 86 percent of land dwellers have not been found and about 91 percent of ocean inhabitants have not been found. I believe this is an accurate estimation of how many species are on this planet. As a citizen, this is good information to know but is not exceptionally important. As a student, this can be used to prove studies that students will go through. For professionals, this can either be a baffling assumption to some, or an accurate estimation. Some experts will continue to look into the topic to find more information on this theory. Some professionals find this a ground breaking idea, and this could lead to more studies in trying to find new species.
