So that’s why I’m seeing more masks on boneheads than usual

[DesertRhino]

There’s a fungus among us....

[Veto!]

As the kids used to say, “There’s a fungus among us”.

I can think of several Dems that qualify.

Moist sweaty areas hardest hit.

“Candida auris mainly spreads in health care settings, where people are sick and vulnerable. People with catheters, breathing tubes, feeding tubes and PICC lines are at the highest risk because the pathogen can enter the body through these types of devices.”
It’s spreading in hospital systems need to do a better job with sterilization of catheters, scopes, etc.
it’s mainly a nosocomial infection.

This isn’t bullshit like Covid, this is the real deal and my wife has a tracheostomy (breathing tube), feeding tube and midline IV, so I don’t feel much like making light of this, also there has been an awareness poster up in her hospital about this and the risks for months, at least the nine months my wife has been hospitalized.

Prayers up for your wife.

Masks! Vax!

[MeanWestTexan]

Shots and masks probably would help it spread.

Fresh air and sunlight are its enemies.

More than several, I would guess.
