I don’t know what the problem is. All that is necessary to make things right is to tear down some more Confederate statutes and import a few more million immigrants from third world hell holes.

supposedly there is an UV light device that hospitals put in a room that is supposed to kill everything in the room in minutes-

Go read the article. Hard to excerpt. This is a disease organism coming in with immigrants. No one wants to talk about that, do they?

When was C. auris first reported?

C. auris was first identified in 2009 in Japan. Retrospective review of Candida strain collections found that the earliest known strain of C. auris dates to 1996 in South Korea. CDC considers C. auris an emerging pathogen because increasing numbers of infections have been identified in multiple countries since it was recognized.

Candida auris: Disinfectants and Implications for Infection Control

Unfortunately, there are very few data available on the effectiveness of disinfectants against C. auris. Chlorine-based products appear to be the most effective for environmental surface disinfection. Other disinfectants, although less effective than chlorine-based products, may have a role as adjunctive disinfectants. A cleaning protocol will also need to be established as the use of disinfectants alone may not be sufficient for maximal decontamination of patient care areas. Furthermore, there are fewer data on the effectiveness of antiseptics against C. auris for patient decolonization and hand hygiene for healthcare personnel. Chlorhexidine gluconate has shown some efficacy in in vitro studies but there are reports of patients with persistent colonization despite twice daily body washes with this disinfectant. Hand hygiene using soap and water, with or without chlorhexidine gluconate, may require the subsequent use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer for maximal disinfection.

So much for orderly immigration which proved effective years ago.

Studies have identified the importance of cross-border movement in the transmission of various diseases, including HIV, measles, pertussis, rubella, rabies, hepatitis A, influenza, tuberculosis, shigellosis, syphilis, Mycobacterium bovis infection, brucellosis, and foodborne diseases, such as infections associated with raw cheese and produce.

These are all contagious diseases and relatively uncommon in the U.S. Fox News reports, “One-third of migrants in caravan are being treated for health issues” including HIV/AIDS, TB, chickenpox, and lice.

Apart from the diseases above making a resurgence in the U.S., a new one called acute flaccid myelitis, thought to be caused by a virus, is currently in the news. This is a polio-like illness causing permanent arm and leg weakness in children. Polio has been largely eradicated, but now American children are becoming infected. Could it be related to the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants entering the U.S.?

Infectiouss Disease - Candida auris (fungus)- in NY,Ill., NJ, & spreading world-wide

" Resistant germs are often called “superbugs,” but this is simplistic because they don’t typically kill everyone.
Instead, they are most lethal to people with immature or compromised immune systems, including newborns and the elderly, smokers, diabetics
and people with autoimmune disorders who take steroids that suppress the body’s defenses."

The germ, a fungus called Candida auris, preys on people with weakened immune systems, and it is quietly spreading across the globe.
Recently C. auris reached New York, NJ and Illinois, leading the federal CDC and Prevention to add it to a list of germs deemed “urgent threats.”
The man at Mount Sinai died after 90 days in the hospital, but C. auris did not.

In 2015, Dr. Johanna Rhodes, an infectious disease expert at Imperial College London, got a panicked call from the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
C. auris had taken root there, and the hospital couldn’t clear it.
Under her direction, hospital workers used a special device to spray aerosolized hydrogen peroxide around a room used for a patient with C. auris.
They left the device going for a week.
Then they put a “settle plate” in the middle of the room
with a gel at the bottom that would serve as a place for any surviving microbes to grow, Dr. Rhodes said.
Only one organism grew back. C. auris .
C. auris is so tenacious, in part, because it is impervious to major antifungal medications.

Didn’t think a fungus was a germ.

" Then they put a “settle plate” in the middle of the room "

A "settle plate" is similar to a petri dish with a surface nutrient like agar, to determine if any germs survived.
In this case, only the Candida auris (fungus) survived.
Germs, bacteria, viri, are mutating and becoming immune to conventional medical controls.

My daughter worked with infectious disease research at NY Presbyterian Hospital. They were losing transplant patients to various diseases as they are more vulnerable.

Babesia, which is common in cows and seldom fatal in humans is another potential killer.

And, by the way, why did you indicate that the source was The New York Times when it wasn’t. (sic)

It clearly says "New York Times" above the headline.

Very likely not a problem for anyone with a functioning immune system.

“But as azoles began destroying more prevalent fungi, an opportunity arrived for C. auris to enter the breach, a germ that had the ability to readily resist fungicides now suitable for a world in which fungi less able to resist are under attack.”

Since when is a fungus a germ? Germ is synonymous with bacteria.

“Most people who get serious Candida infections are already sick from other medical conditions.”


DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING.

I’m not disputing the nature of the infectious invasion accompanying the illegal human hosts (my choice of words should prove adequate), but Americans’ ease of infection should be alarming to people. Unfortunately it is not and waiting until infection to do anything about it is too late.
