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!

    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:
