Perhaps you should refrain from tossing your diseased dead into your drinking water

Sounds like a case for more H1B visas

Along with dead livestock, dogs, cats, rats, you name it. I guess they thought, out of sight out of mind.

They are using Amphoteracin B to treat this which is one of the most nephrotoxic drugs in the formulary. Why aren't they using itraconizole instead against it unless it is resistant against it. Either way, a fungal disease along with the Wuhan Virus is a double tap to the body's systems.

Maybe. It will definitely cause social distancing................

I wonder if some of their vaccines weren’t refrigerated properly.

Sounds similar to valley fever

When I started grad school in the Microbiology dept, the department head insisted that everyone get a skin test for tuberculosis and coccidiomycosis (Valley Fever). The department head lost a lung to Valley Fever. My TB test faded to nothing as usual, but the Valley Fever wrapped around my arm. Off for an X-ray. It appears to be walled off, but I'm cautioned to keep my calcium levels up as the treatment for an active case is usually Amphoteracin B. Very harsh stuff. I also have a raging case of rheumatoid arthritis that I can't treat with the new immuno-suppressive approaches like methotrexate with the Valley Fever lurking. My wife just presented me with the biker shirt that includes "Sons of Arthritis" "Ibuprofen Chapter". Fitting I'm in the 800 mg per day club.

I dealt with Blastomycosis and Histomycosis on a regular basis and was the first veterinarian in Mississippi to use itraconizole in the treatment of the Deuteromycetes. I saw one case of San Joaquin Valley Fever with the characteristic yeast in a dog. The name we used for Amphoteracin B was “Amphoterrible” .

Why would they need those. Just fly to Mexico and cross the border.

Let's ask Fauci what this means. /s
