Not in a hospital, pard! Last I knew, Clorox was a bozo no-no!

But on a Clorox-related note, from a few months ago....

Clorox healthcare and CME partner to help hospitals in the fight against HAI’s

Because it would be too much like a dog.. the darn cattiness of cats is mythical. They would never do anything for me.. I am just lucky they allow me to pet them.

Evacuate the hospital, then send in a robot to irradiate everything.

Could the spread of this fungus be aided by the common practice in Britain’s socialized hospitals of 8 patient wards rather than private rooms?

Definitely check out the Japanese horror movie Matango (1963).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matango

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057295/reference

“MATANGO, directed by Ishiro Honda, is an exceptionally beautiful fantasy film from the mighty Toho. Bastardized for its American release, badly dubbed, retitled (”Attack of the Mushroom People”) and afforded very little respect, its recent re-emergence as a special edition DVD (2005) confirms its place in the realm of fantastique cinema.”

staff carrying out "intensive" disinfection of wards

There is your problem right there:...WARDS

In USA and most other advanced countries Wards have been replaced by single occupancy booths....something like an ER suite without the Hi-Tech gadgets

So cross infection is drastically reduced.

In UK they mostly Victorian era Wards

And the nursing staff....don't like using alcohol based hand wash liquids
