It sort of is. The latest thing that is…

Not paying attention to what is important while watching negroes play with balls, watching porn, talking about Tay Tay online, voting solely to murder your baby, getting drunk, doing drugs, fomenting war abroad, while doing nothing about the border and crime…

These kind of fungi spread like wildfires in a hospital setting and patients who are immuno-compromised are highly susceptible. It’s why the worst place for a sick person is a hospital, get your treatment and gtfo and try to recover at home, if you can. I’ve lost loved ones who went into the hospital for one thing relatively minor and never made it out after being infected with a fungus.

First Identified: C. auris was first identified in Japan in 2009, although the earliest infection is believed to have occurred in South Korea in 1996.

Global Spread: Unrelated strains of the fungus have been found in multiple countries worldwide, including the United States.

Transmission: It is typically transmitted in hospitals and healthcare settings. The fungus can spread via contaminated surfaces (such as medical equipment and furniture) and from person to person.

Hardiness: C. auris is hardy and can last on surfaces for weeks at a time, contributing to its transmission in healthcare facilities.
Symptoms:

The symptoms of C. auris infection can vary widely depending on the person and the affected body part.

The most common symptoms include fever and chills, but these are also common in many other infections.

Challenges in Identification: Most people with C. auris are already being treated for another condition, making symptoms difficult to identify.

At-Risk Populations:
C. auris is most common among people with multiple chronic or recurrent health conditions.

Individuals living in nursing facilities or those with frequent hospitalizations are at a higher risk of C. auris infection.
********************************************************
More info from Cleveland Clinic....
People with a healthy immune system usually don’t get sick from C. auris, but can transmit it to others.

Symptoms:

Fever.
Chills.
Lethargy (extreme tiredness).
Low blood pressure.
High heart rate (tachycardia).
Low body temperature (hypothermia).
Pain, pressure or feeling of fullness in your ear ( C. auris ear infection)

Watch the video ....

Patients in hospitals & nursing homes
Patients requiring complex medical care with invasive measures like breathing & feeding tubes, catheters ....

The article is alarmist & preys on people already traumatized by C19 fear porn. Lots of words like ‘global’ & ‘collective’, etc.

Most people will not be in hospitals & nursing homes or have invasive procedures. Take care of your health... eat well, sleep well, get outside & be as active as possible, get lots of Vit D (sunshine and/or supplement), practice good hygiene- wash your hands. Be kind to those you love. The “fungus amongus” will primarily be the purveyors of hyped up fear.

(And they just HAD to throw in “climate change” towards the end!) 😜

Wikipedia’s article also mentions it, in one of their illustrations.

From the documentary “The Last of us” on HBO, the main symptom is becoming a fast zombie and eating people.

Candida sp. is a genus of various yeast species. Most are benign ; this one is a pathogen.

Spread by direct contact, bodily fluids, and contaminated surfaces.

Generally nosocomial, i.e. spread in health care facilities.
