Fungal, cannot be transmitted from human to human.

As for the situation in Louisiana, it seems to be quite serious, but ultimately only for the local region, it isn't going to be a global catastrophic.

To those there I am sure it seems like they are waiting for it to bring the end of the world upon them.

This thread is fascinating on many levels for me personally, though I have only made a few comments in it, I have followed it and while I believe it isn't going to be a major event with national or global implications, I am still impressed by the way you all have covered it here.

Good show.
