Forget COVID, the real pandemic is going to be when bacteria are completely resistant to antibiotics which we're basically on the precipice of now.

We’ve been lucky for ~40 years with having an additional method to kill them just when the prior method seems to wane, if you are close to that field then it always seems like impending doom but what is actually different about this time?

Except that some resistance rates are falling.

Gtp3 summary:

Infectious diseases doctors are vital for stopping the spread of diseases, yet 44% of fellowship programs for this specialty went unfilled this year. Reasons for the decline include lower pay compared to other specialties, long hours, and public criticism. Medical associations are advocating for loan forgiveness and higher reimbursements to reduce the pay gap and efforts are being made to draw more doctors to the field. The COVID pandemic has had a tremendous impact on human life and in the future may inspire more people to pursue careers in infectious diseases.

How do GPT3 summaries square with HN commenting/culture? Seems to me that you’ve contributed nothing to the discussion aside from CtrlC/V the output of an algorithm…

It’s important to know the possibilities of new technologies. It will not be long until text generators are as import to my job as Word is. The only way to gain insight in these new tools is to apply them and see their strengths and weaknesses. I’m doing the work, so that you don’t have to. You can thank me later.
