A) Most hospitals are filthy. Many are not even designed to be cleaned.
B) Internal fungal infections are bad news.

Ha! Just like C19, the only people who have to worry about it are those who worry about it. Believe it won’t hurt you and it won’t hurt you.

Just another bullshit effort to control the population through fear.

It's not going to hurt you either way.

Exactly my initial thought! Just more fear-mongering from the .gov crowd...

More fear mongering senstionalism for the mass. This is a hospital-acquired infection, what's used to be called nosocomial infection. There are tons of different such in-hospital infections, and they tend to kill you because you are hospitalized, i.e., you are very sick in the first place. This is not something that spreads like wildfire and easily kills previously healthy people. Now, the fear mongering is not necessarily by the CDC, because they put out bulletins of this kind to the medical community all the time. It's the media that stir up the fear for the general population.
Oh look! The same fungus was posted HERE two years ago.

From the article…
The fungus spreads through medical equipment that enters the body, such as breathing tubes, feeding tubes, or catheters.
Aren’t those one time use sterile appliances independently packaged?
That’s it! Not getting that colonoscopy I was considering!
Endeavor to persevere.

Most every place is filthy. The floors get mopped and restrooms cleaned up and scented. Handrails, doors, elevators, chairs, you name it, almost never get cleaned.

People would really be scared once they found out that there’s fecal matter on pretty much everything in existence.

Thanks for that catch and post, Q! I didn't remember that thread or I never would have posted the opening question. Definitely verifies my original thoughts of it just being another .gov orchestrated scare tactic to control the weak-minded!
