“Casadevall and colleagues have previously hypothesized that increased temperatures due to climate change may have caused C. auris to adapt to higher temperatures in the wild...”

I’m sure the (debatable) .01 degree increase is the culprit.

Andaman Islands?

Did they even try looking at the Andawoman Islands?

Filthy bigots.

“C. auris is a fungus that was first discovered in 2009 in a patient in Japan. It seemed to quickly spread around the world, appearing on three different continents around the same time. “

~~~

Candida produce spores, which make them hard to eradicate completely, and allow them to spread outside of hosts (including air born) over distance and time comparatively well.

Son of COVID: Reporting for duty!
As bad as, if not worse than MRSA.
Fauci and friends will POUNCE onto this once it’s detected in a few Americans.

“I’m afraid we must all return to full on Lockdown Status for an indefinite period of time. Do all of you think I LIKE being the bearer of such grim news?

The study provides some support for the global warming hypothesis because, first and foremost, it identified C. auris in a natural environment, which is a requirement for the hypothesis, the editorial said. In addition, the “wilder” isolate could be a missing link of sorts between wild C. auris and those that cause infections in hospitals.

Studies could also examine whether wild C. auris isolates with less heat tolerance could “evolve” in a lab setting to grow at higher temperatures, thus providing more support for the global warming hypothesis, the editorial said.

If it is indeed shown that C. auris came from the wild, and that global warming was a factor in its jump to humans, researchers are concerned that more pathogens could make the same leap.

What does this even mean?

It seems they are tenuously striving to show global warming is raising temperatures to closer to that of humans, making it easier to “jump.” However, global warming would also be making germs adjust to a higher temperature than humans, in hotter climates.

Anything in the world could be claimed as fundamentally affected by global warming with this lack of reasoning. Used tires’ temperatures, raised incrementally closer to that of humans, make it more likely they will develop consciousness and take over the world, for instance.

Just when people are getting vaccinated and Rand Paul is telling Fauci that wearing masks after having the illness or the vaccine is “theater,” and he’s right, now TPTB creates yet another reason to worry.
