The fungus is resistant to several antifungal medications, but the CDC said it is not seen as a threat to healthy people. Still, the national public health agency is calling C. auris an urgent threat because of its resistance to medications. It can cause serious illness and death in people who are already sick, use invasive medical devices or have long or frequent stays at health care facilities.
It’s a good thing the collective respiratory health of this country is stronger than ever!
not seen as a threat to healthy people
oh well good thing sick people don't exist then! :agony-deep:
The last 4 years have really highlighted just how deeply belief or tacit acceptance of eugenics goes in the west
It’s wild. The amount of times I’ve basically heard otherwise normal people basically say “Oh only the most vulnerable in our society are gonna die, okay!” is insane
It’s weird how people become hard eugenists so quickly. Almost everyone talks like this about the disabled, infirm, elderly; pulling deaths from the future since “they were gonna die anyway.”
I blame financialization of life to make people into sociopaths. Everything must be expressed in money, profits and costs. Nothing and no one has intrinsic value and “we ARE overpopulated” and “those people do deserve to die” and further “I imagine me or someone like me making these life and death decisions but I will not be affected by them.”
Zero solidarity and always :amerikkka:
I promise everyone, it's not a threat. No problems here. Everything will be okay. You can trust us, when have we ever made light of a serious medical issue? :walter:
Wow, I was seeing way more fungal infections but I chalked it up to all the patients I was seeing being neutropenic cause they're doing stem cell transplants.
A mold that feeds on ethanol has been coating everything near the Jack Daniels distillery in Tennessee. That's kinda cool.

Ms. Willis also said that air filters could hurt the flavor that Jack Daniel’s whiskey acquires during the aging process. Distillers refer poetically to the liquor that evaporates during that process as “the angel’s share.”
This is so ridiculous.
lol like anyone drinks Jack Daniels for the flavor
See everyone thinks this is like the video game The Last of Us but really it's like the video game Super Mario Brothers
The old world must die so that the Mushroom Kingdom can be born!
Both a flu and covid infection hurts our immune systems ability to fight of fungal infections, at least temporarily.
