Shots and masks STAT?
So that’s why I’m seeing more masks on boneheads than usual
There’s a fungus among us....
As the kids used to say, “There’s a fungus among us”.
I can think of several Dems that qualify.
The Last of Us panic coming soon…
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.
Masks! Vax!
Do not eat the moldy bread.
Are morons going to buy up all the toilet paper and tissues again?
Per Google AI:
Candida auris, a multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen, is associated with high mortality rates, estimated to be around 30-60% in infected individuals.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Mortality Rates:
Studies suggest a crude mortality rate of 30% to 60% for individuals with C. auris infections.
Some studies indicate that mortality rates can be even higher, with some reports suggesting rates as high as 72%.
A study of 192 C. auris hospitalizations in the United States between 2017 and 2022 found an estimated crude mortality rate of 34%.
Within that study, the mortality rate was 47% for bloodstream infections (BSI) and 31% for non-BSI infections.
Factors Contributing to High Mortality:
Multidrug Resistance: C. auris is known for its resistance to multiple antifungal medications, making treatment challenging.
Underlying Health Conditions: Many individuals infected with C. auris already have serious underlying health conditions, increasing their risk of mortality.
Invasive Infections: C. auris can cause invasive infections, such as bloodstream infections (candidemia), which are associated with higher mortality rates.
Emergence and Spread:
C. auris is an emerging pathogen that has rapidly spread globally.
It is considered a serious threat to public health, particularly in healthcare settings.
It was first identified in 2009 and has since been isolated in over 50 countries across six continents.
Challenges in Diagnosis and Treatment:
C. auris can be misidentified as other Candida species, making diagnosis and treatment more difficult.
The rising prevalence of infection and colonization with non-albicans Candida species is thought to be due to the excessive use of prophylactic antifungals such as fluconazole.
Prevention and Control:
Strict infection control measures in healthcare facilities are crucial to prevent the spread of C. auris.
Hand hygiene with alcohol-based hand sanitizers or soap and water is important.
Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) is a commonly used antiseptic that can be used in decolonization of patients and added to hand soaps in healthcare settings.
In the United States, C. auris is a nationally notifiable pathogen, allowing for public health tracking and containing its spread.
You again? You pop up everywhere.
It can be contracted by close contact with so infected or colonized individuals....no mention if it can be sexually transmitted, or oral/fecal route...sounds like it could be....they should monitor for outbreaks in populations which have high physical contacts....message therapists, Roman Greco wrestlers, prostitutes, sexually promiscuous individuals, etc.
Gotta’ nip it in the bud, Andy.......
“In the past, the CDC estimated that ‘based on information from a limited number of patients, 30–60% of people with C. auris infections have died. However, many of these people had other serious illnesses that also increased their risk of death.’”
I think these two quotes are instructive, because of the link below. Coronavirus deaths were easily overstated by focusing on what happened in the last few minutes or days, rather than the last couple months or years that made the death inevitable and just needed a minor illness to help it along.

There’s a FUNGUS AMUNGUS!
MAKE your healthcare worker WASH THEIR EFFING HANDS!!!!
Simple. Where is my NIH grant?

My brother just had an aortic valve transplant. Went in on Tuesday morning. Released on Wednesday before noon. First thing he did was to take a firmans shower to get any germs off him.
