[quote:Anonymous Coward 85421514:MV81Mzg5MzI3XzQ0NjIzMDc4] An ‘influential’ US medical panel is warning about the dangers of a rapidly spreading deadly fungus — just a week after the hit zombie show The Last of Us wrapped up. The American College of Physicians (ACAP) said the rise and spread of antibiotic-resistant cases of Candida auris, also known as C auris, is 'particularly concerning'. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) already described the fungus, which kills up to 60 percent of people it infects, as an 'urgent threat' in 2019. A person is infected after coming into direct contact with a contaminated object. It spreads from person to person by direct contact between them. Strict handwashing, especially in hospital environments, can prevent its spread. But the new research from the CDC has revealed case numbers more than tripled across America between 2020 and 2021, with antibiotic resistant strains also becoming more common. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11882321/Urgent-threat-highly-contagious-FUNGUS-kill-rate-60-growing-US.html Brought to you by Chemtrails.
