Physics kinda demands it...doesn't it?

Tell ya something else I've always wondered about...before water turns to ice does it thicken or get "slushy"? Does it freeze all at once? I read a report that stated a diver had been down in 29 degree water. Huh? How's that happen? Does salt content change the freeze point?

By the year 2050, the number of deaths related to antimicrobial-resistance will surpass those attributable to cancer.

As antimicrobial resistance rates continue to increase, the rate of related deaths is also expected to rise, with an estimated 10 million deaths in the year 2050 — compared to 8.2 million cancer-related deaths.

The overuse of antibiotics is the number one factor contributing to development of resistant bacteria.
