What Percentage of people are infected with MRSA more than 2 Days after their arrival at Hospital?

Reasonably high, which is why you want to get out of the hospital as soon as you safely and comfortably can. Surgical patients are far more susceptible than Medical patients. Bear in mind that MRSA is treatable -- it just requires different planning and treatment. Exact statistics on this are hard to come by, but I've heard as many as 30% (which I think is WAY high and very unlikely) may experience post-surgical MRSA. Don't worry -- it's treatable.
