> Doctors are urged to be vigilent for a new bug that has arriving in Britain

This has broken grammar, and they can't spell ‘vigilant’. In the second paragraph. Don't the Telegraph writers use a spell checker? Well-written text is kind of important for a bloody newspaper. I'd send an errata to the author, but they don't provide an email address and the author's profile takes me to a 404 page. Also:

> Antibiotics are widely available to buy without prescription in India and Pakistan and this has meant hospital doctor there have had to resort to

Waves arms about.

Hello!? Writing standards!?

I expected a lot better from the Telegraph. However it seems online right now they are more interested in chasing digg traffic with sensationalist articles and headlines.

(see http://econsultancy.com/blog/3801-telegraphs-social-media-st... )

Eye-catching and descriptive headlines attract clicks on Digg, and The Telegraph has plenty of these. Some of its most popular Digg headlines are listed here. Some are sensational too, which can help catch the eye of Digg users. 'Fish with human faces spotted in South Korea' got 1,759 Diggs, for instance.
