The fungus, a strain of a kind of yeast known as Candida auris, has been reported in a dozen countries on five continents starting in 2009, where it was first found in an ear infection in a patient in Japan. Since then, the fungus has been reported in Colombia, India, Israel, Kenya, Kuwait, Pakistan, South Korea, Venezuela and the United Kingdom.
Unlike garden variety yeast infections, this one causes serious bloodstream infections, spreads easily from person to person in health-care settings, and survives for months on skin and for weeks on bed rails, chairs and other hospital equipment. Some strains are resistant to all three major classes of antifungal drugs. Based on information from a limited number of patients, up to 60 percent of people with these infection have died. Many of them also had other serious underlying illnesses.

Anyone here old enough to remember when America’s hospitals were spotlessly clean? Now hospitals release you too early partly for financial reasons and partlly to prevent patients from contracting MRSAs. Hygiene is a relatively modern discovery. It’s going the way of literacy, see my tagline.

Nowadays- nurses can work in ebola infected countries overseas, come back here- refuse to be quarantined and society an the law shrug their shoulders and say “Well- they refuse, what can we gonna do?”
