No because most hospitals have other superbugs like MRSA.

the Post is bringing out a very good point.

The Government CDC has been hiding information from the people for years.

The press is complicit. So are the search engines.

It no longer permits information about pinpointing diseases, sources, and areas.

The morbidity and mortality reports are nebulous.

Someone could make money on a self reporting disease website

This may be the 21st century version of bubonic plague.

How can you avoid these dangers?

Stay out of hospitals. Too many sick people with infectious diseases.

Yes, I think you are correct about those funguses being everywhere including the new “super” varieties that were “discovered” in 2009 in samples from 2004. The discovery is all happenstance based on some imbalance (like the one you suggest) which now manifests in more compromised patients and more fungus opportunity.

Except for one thing. To get "infected" by it (enough to cause it to develop in your bloodsteam, you have to be compromised by some other disease. Second, it has to be injected into you. You cannot absorb in through lungs or skin. In contrast people got the plague from being bitten by infected fleas. I don't think there are fleas carrying the fungus (I have read up, but don't know that for sure). Also would require rats or some other animal to carry the fleas.

Not anymore, but it was included in the original KJV. No question about that.

yet on another thread the CDC was bitching cause they aren’t getting federal funds for gun violence research. I just can’t see how gun violence falls under the purview of disease control. Maybe they should focus on diseases and less on pet liberal issues.

“How can you avoid these dangers?
Stay out of hospitals. Too many sick people with infectious diseases.“

Except for the unpleasant fact that every time you go to your doctor for anything, what is the very first thing they do?

Shove a questionably clean otoscope into both of your ears.
