‘Superbug’ [Candida auris] linked to 63 deaths in Nevada
ktla ^

Posted on 11/29/2022 12:39:50 PM PST by BenLurkin

A “superbug” known as Candida auris (C. auris) has caused 774 cases in Nevada hospitals and other care facilities, according to the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

A total of 63 Nevada deaths have been linked to C. auris, according to DHHS. The deaths were not necessarily caused by the fungus, KTLA sister station KLAS added.

C. auris is a fungus that can cause severe illness in hospitalized patients. If it’s introduced into the bloodstream, the fungus can spread throughout the body and cause serious invasive infections. It was listed in 2019 as one of five “urgent” superbugs monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In classifying cases, there is a distinction between infections — which are called clinical cases — and “colonization.” In those cases, the fungus is present in the body, but has not caused an infection. But because of the danger of spreading the fungus to others, extra care is needed with patients who have C. auris. Hand-washing is an important part of precautions.

Of the 63 Nevada deaths linked to C. auris, 45 were clinical cases, 17 were colonization cases and one is unknown. Of the 774 cases, there were 292 clinical cases, 362 colonization cases and 120 unknown.

C. auris is not new. Often occurs in hospitals caring for the ‘compromised’ and those potentially over-medicated with broad spectrum anti-microbials. These can clear the field so to speak enabling this to take hold uncompleted.

Not a good illness to get.

I thought CoVid was the only thing that could make people get really sick to the point of death.

From August. Note the timing...

COVID-19-associated fungal infections

What if it's not CoupFlu, or not just CoupFlu...

What if the vaxxes are doing it, or are doing something similar...?

Now that Fauci is retired, the Ukraine bioweapon labs are overrun with Russians, and lots of eyes are on Wuhan, who is going to oversee and where are they gong to do the ‘gain of function’ processes on it?

Or maybe I answered my own question... WHO.

The stars won’t come out
If they know that you’re about
‘Cause they couldn’t match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I
Just an ordinary guy
Trying hard to win me first prize

Oh, Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Hmm, Candida
Just take my hand, and I’ll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
And it said so in my dreams

I tell you one thing...

After the horrific infection control protocol violations I have seen healthcare providers engage in, especially with regard to muzzles, over the last two years, I am going to do my damndedst to see that I stay out of the hospital. And health care settings in general.
