“The fungus will just keep getting bigger and bigger, obstruct certain parts of the lungs, and can cause secondary pneumonia. Eventually, it can go on to kill people,” Connelly said.
For once I am glad to be in a desert where the humidity in my bedroom is currently 23%. It's not a real preventative measure, but I'll take it.
I live in a humid climate that's getting drier every quarter. Lack of water isn't a positive, regardless of other threats. "Thank God I'm dieing of thirst and hunger instead of dieing from malaria, fungus, piranhas or crocodiles!"

We have multiple cases in our hospital's ICU. We even have gone so far as to divide the ICU into two departments, one for people with C.auris, SARS-COV2 or Acinetobacter baumanii and one for non-carriers of the above
Fucking Sod's law.
I've been battling some sort off fungal infection on my skin for a few years because the doctor's and bureaucracy suck.
I also got it from being abused by the police, given some disgusting bum blanket to wrap myself around in during the illegal isolation shit they pulled on me in jail for days.
I've been treating it topically but haven't been able to get rid of it completely. Luckily I don't think it's in my lungs. I did suspect for a while but that luckily passed and was probably throat restriction due to an allergy.
So now I finally managed to wrangle myself antifungals from a buddy I went to the army with who's a doctor now, and now after not three days I read about a drug-resistant strain. With my luck and Sod's law, these oral antifungals won't help either, fuck.
