Antibiotic Resistance and What is ESG?
Antibiotic resistance is getting more worrisome. It's possible by 2050, antibiotic resistant super bugs could kill three times as many people could a year as during the worst parts of the COVID-19 pandemic . But there may be hope in the development of novel antibiotics. We discuss how this is related to the development of the COVID-19 vaccine. Then we finally put ESG ratings in their rightful place and tell you what they are REALLY used for.
