If the BBC is any indication, then yes.

d.c. already infected. So, any word on the mostly peaceful gathering at the capital? 😳

Such a great song. Such a great year. If I had a time machine I’d travel to 1980 and never come back.

Just a FYI, the fungus Beauveria bassiana is used now to kill bedbugs.

>> if it takes off, “it could shut down entire healthcare systems”

Oh No! and would you look at that world map! The US is already bright red! We’re doomed.

I’ll betcha government money could fix it though. Yeah, it’ll take a lot of government money. No, seriously, a big honkin’ lot, thirteen, fourteen figures...

Transmission is mainly through contaminated surfaces in hospitals.

That’s where the vaxxed dummies end up. Fomites for you.

Crap. I knew the zombie apocalypse would get us sooner or later. There have been too many movies for the “powers that be” not to have been working on that scenario. I assume the head shot will still work as previously indicated.

Actual zombies, official UFOs, a non-Catholic Pope, cross-dressers being sought out to do the children’s readings at city libraries, men marrying men.

This isn’t what I expected as a kid.

I think I’ll worry about MRSA first; and then ‘climate change’...

(of course, there are asteroids...but I’ve got a lot on my mind already.)

[BipolarBob]

There’s a lot of years I’d go to and never come back.

They’re having a peaceful meeting in Memphis tonight. It looks like fun.

Who needs Cordyceps and Ophiocordyceps when CNN, MSNBC, SeeBS, NYT, public schools, etc. are doing this already.

[Gil4]

For some reason, I was expecting this one:

Nice!

Your most honorable nebulous Void, thank you for the ping. I have addressed this issue in my newsletter many times, one I simply cannot share with this forum for legal reasons. I am working on an independent version,. one which will be available soon--hopefully. In the interim, I will address this soon. The bottom line is Cordyceps is restricted to insects and cannot infect humans, so sleep sound knowing the void still is devoid of fungi. Lastly, is a "ping" equal to a "pong?" Here I remain, devoid of a nullness and may your void never usurp the nullness you so richly deserve.

Another effective way to kill bed bugs is to expose the mattress/Pillow/bedovers to hot sun light. The bugs can’t take the heat.
