Airdate 11/11/07 MRSA is a superbug, a staff infection that has moved out of hospitals and nursing homes and is now infecting healthy people, sometimes killing them. That's because once the MRSA infection gets into the blood stream, it is largely resistant to antibiotics. For now, the best medicine is prevention. What does this mean? Scrubbing down school desks? Hosing down team locker rooms? Sending infected kids home? Lesley Stahl reports.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. |

"Pricey" 12 min. Video by Lee G, Ed.D. (Uniontown, PA)  3 Stars
July 15, 2008
The DVD carries some good information on MRSA. It is current and easy to understand. However, it is very expensive for less than 12 minutes of video. You might think there is an hour of video time - 60 Minutes - Superbug. Instead, it is less than 12 minutes of actual footage from the 60 Minutes program. It is overpriced at $17.95 plus shipping. I paid $25 for the DVD and it works out that it is >$2.00 a minute. Otherwise, the information is timely.

snake oil by Richard Richter (Oconto WI USA)  5 Stars
December 30, 2007
This was something the school districts needed to see. There are salesmen out there selling chemicals we didn't need at a cost double our current sanitizing chemicals. Hygiene is the root to most of the problems and using sanitizing chemicals which we rotate helps keep bacteria in check. Our athletic department now uses this DVD for educating the students on the need for good hygiene. Thank you 60 minutes...........
