#1 I strongly recommend a Wuhan Candida auris research effort be funded and launched. What harm could possibly come of it ?

#2 Oh, no, you mean it's only been about two weeks since the last bit of fear-mongering?

#3 America's deadly fungus hotspots revealed: Interactive map shows how New York, Illinois and California have highest cases of Candida auris that kills up to 60% of patients - so where does YOUR state rank?

#4 Considering the low numbers this has and everything else going on, I'll put this at the bottom of things I'm gonna worry about maybe someday.

#5 Like absolutely everything else, the highest risk is to the most unhealthy.

#6 ^ The hotspot map is interesting. Given the wide geographic separation between the hot states (Florida vs California vs Illinois vs New York), I wonder if some particular demographic is involved.

#7 Seems the greatest risk is contact with items which enter the body unnaturally, so I know where I'd put my money.

#8 The local Ohio Fox affiliate is blasting out a warning here while I am waiting for my oil change.

#9 PJ Media is scathing about the manufactured hysteria:

Fast Fungus Facts
The fungal disease is quite rare.
It’s easily spread by person-to-person contact and can also be picked up from contaminated surfaces.
In rare cases, the fungus can spread to an infected person’s brain, heart, blood, eyes, and bones, and kill them.

Got that? The rare fungus can, in rare cases, kill people.

The CDC stated that the fungus seems to prefer people who are: diabetic; very sick; have been in a care facility for a while; are using catheters, breathing and/or feeding tubes; or have recently undergone surgery — much like COVID’s favorite victims.

#10 Keep your pecker where it belongs and you probably won’t have a problem.

#11 Glen more, many old persons peckers don’t work any more, I am sure this is a trany problem.

#13 Ref #10: Keep your pecker where it belongs and you probably won’t have a problem

Glenmore just proffered some sage advice for a man of any age.

#14 Is it o.k. if I fondle the [fresh] produce at my local grocery store? I sure hope I don't pick the "lucky" green pepper or sweet potato.

#15 Vegiphelia....?

I used to shop at Whole Foods in Fairfax, VA. Always thought I should have been getting more for my money. Perhaps it was something darker, more sinister.

I posted pics of my junk, and the kindest comments said it was too early in the season for miniature "heirloom" veggies. The worst referenced root or squash :-(
