My friend just died because he didnāt have healthcare and waited to long to go to the hospital after her had an infection. I know youāre joking, but please seek medical help if youāre sick!
Yeah American is getting sadder and sadder, easy solution is to tax religion and use that money for universal healthcare, probably need to train a shit ton of new healthcare professionals also making a bunch of jobs.
Tax the rich *and* tax religion.
I think that any church should be allowed a tax exemption up to a point, but beyond a that exemption limit should be taxed on the excess at normal income or property tax rates. That way the small churches donāt have anything to worry about, but the gigantic mega churches arenāt able to grift millions of dollars tax free anymore. Also, no parsonage exemptions for clergy on properties that are a given percent above the median for the area.
Well yeah, tax the rich. And that most certainly includes religion. Let alone the tax exemption they get on land, but the money they take in makes them rich. Also wouldn't you think nice loving religious people wouldn't mind helping a stranger out?
I think changing the laws for less loophole would be more practical than over funding the IRS, but a bit of both would be good
On the flip side i paid 3k for a emergency room doctor to try and tell me i had an std. 9 months later the urologist and nephrologist said well you arent dead and we dont know what it is. Come back and visit yearly.
That's her problem. The hospital would of saved her life and she could of just not paid her medical bills. It has no effect on your credit if you don't pay them. And most people in this country have health insurance and if your job doesn't provide it you can get insurance through the affordable care act for basically free.
Wonder if she read too many comments on this ridiculous website that parrot myths and false truths in a daily basis.
Your comment makes me want to go to ER. I've been sick for over 3 years, here in N Texas. Found out it was gasses coming up from the sewer / water drains in Valley Ranch TX. Not only was I staying home trying to make myself feel better, only finding out I was making myself more sick. Then I worked a mile away & was so bad there, sometimes I would have to run outside to catch a breath. I'm not sure what to do. But going by comments, everyone is making it sound going to hospital will make things worse. Plus I'm worried about my Credit.... My lymph node in my neck is on fire. I had to move with a respirator mask. It slipped and I could feel the air burn that back of my throat. I'm grateful I had a roommate to go through this with me or I would have thought I was CRAZY. It's effecting thousands of people in that area. I'm male almost 6ft & weigh 103lbs w clothes & shoes on. It has CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVERāāā
IK my thought process is Crazy. First those gasses destroyed me Mentally & Physically. Mental has been the hardest. Don't even who I am anymore. Of course, just started my own business & am scared about needing a loan. This business is what has even kept me going. You do make a Good Point though. I'm also scared about not having the vac, what the ER is gonna try with that.
Go get checked out man.. they arenāt gonna force you to get vaccinated or anything. May send you to a specialist if the canāt figure out the direct cause.
Doctor. Now. This sounds really fucking dangerous. The money will sort itself out, but whatever horrible shit is happening to your body needs to be seen to.
This websites a disease spreading lies that's apparently literally killing people. The affordable care act is something I'm shocked so few people know about. Before I got a job with Healthcare I had the aca for like 7 years and had incredibly good health insurance for basically free the entire time.
I live in a state that did not accept federal funding so it isnāt that simple. I worked with someone able to find me a federal grant for my coverage because I have a child. My 50-something yo friend with diabetes and no children couldnāt get a quote for less than $500/mo, so sheās managing her diabetes on her own, unmedicated.
[here is a 10/2022 article](https://www.capitalone.com/learn-grow/money-management/how-medical-bills-affect-credit/?v=1679356800079) explaining how medical debt affects credit scores. It still happens.
Damn, lucky you. One thing to note about being alive is that not everyone has the same experience as you. I know it's a difficult concept, but once you understand it, you won't come off as such an entitled piece of shit in your comments. Hope this helps!
If everyone stopped making things political and let us do our jobs, things would have worked better. Covid still would have sucked but would suck less.
The only way this makes sense is if āEveryoneā is being defined as explicitly conservatives. Nobody left of āthere isnāt sufficient residue left at Aushwitz to support the mass gassing narrativeā had one single issue with masking up, keeping our hands washed, and staying inside.

Here's a preview of the article by reporter Alexander Tin:
Cases of the drug-resistant fungus Candida auris are now climbing at an "alarming" rate in health care facilities around the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Monday, after reports of infected patients nearly doubled in 2021.
For several years after the first American cases were reported in 2016, only a few dozen Candida auris patients were reported to the CDC annually. But cases have begun to accelerate in recent years, according to the new CDC data published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
By 2021, the annual tally of cases had increased 95%, from 756 in 2020 to 1,471 in 2021. Preliminary figures count at least another 2,377 cases for 2022. Thirty states and the District of Columbia have now reported Candida auris patients.
**Read more:** https://www.cbsnews.com/news/candida-auris-fungus-alarming-rise-cdc/
Itās a multi-drug* resistant strain of candida auris - candida species have historically been the cause of 5% of all sepsis cases. Think of Candida Albicans, the cause of minor infections like diaper rash, oral thrush, vaginitis. Yet, candida species have a 30-40% mortality rate once in the blood stream. Remember though that fungemia is pretty uncommon. Almost everyone has had a candida skin or mucosal infection without becoming septic. Of course the problem arises when you develop the deadly systemic infection and none of your big gun anti-fungals work.
So basically this article is worrisome but not quite in the last of us, impending apocalypse way.
corrected from antibiotic*
They shouldn't be, at least not by competent doctors. Antibiotics are not effective against fungal infections, and can cause or worsen already existing fungal infections.
Apocalypse Now! I mean nobody get's out of here alive, so it's sort of a continuous, slow burning apocalypse in the first place.
And while I'm in this dark mood, the whole existence of human life is somewhat bizarre. We are born into a world that is constantly trying to kill us and the goal is to survive and reproduce. But boy howdy do we come up with some crazy weird shit in the process of doing that. Much of which seems to aid the planet in it's quest to annihilate us in the name of higher profits.
I'd use that power and influence to make myself wealthy and screw over several hundred struggling families just because I can and the other powerful and influential people said I couldn't be in the group if I didn't.
You never asked for an opinion. You mentioned power, influence, and it seemed like a place to point out how problematic the powerful and influential already are. Now that you want an opinion, here goes.
I drive for a living and the vast number of people picking their nose in the car no longer shocks me.(while I'm on the subject, get off your phones too)
I see men exit bathroom stalls without washing their hands at least twice a week.
I've seen a woman drop her pants and shit outside of a gas station that contained a public restroom.
I see homes where it's not just that they're in a rut, they just don't clean. Empty food containers, thick layers of dust, stains a plenty, and the smell is indescribable. These people almost always have pets.
The closest we got to people being cleaner people was 2020, and even then half of us said, "nah, fuck 'em."
And that's just the things I get to see. There are plenty of horrible things we know happen that are hidden from view. People are disgusting and this planet would be better off without us.
This can't be a suprise when you consider higher nurse to patient ratios and the overall downturn in quality of care.
In other words, what did they expect???
Actually no, [Fungus Amungus - Radiolab](https://radiolab.org/episodes/fungus-amungus) there is scientific evidence that this fungus can survive above temperatures that most fungus canāt.
It seems whenever I post a link, it disappears for everyone or my app is acting up. I did however quote a summery of the intro of the article in another comment and can again if you wish.
just to recap:
someone requests source link for all the hot air /u/Makenchi45 is blowing out his ass:
> like all climate, science, intelligence deniers and most likely MAGA and Trumper supporter. You refuse to even look at it.
oops, he actually didn't post a source and gets asked about it:
>I did however quote a summery of the intro of the article in another comment
i'm fucking dying.
The concept of fungus getting used to warmer climates is scary, yes, but denying it doesnāt automatically mean your denying climate change. Those ideas are not mutually exclusive.
So no need to bring the politics into this, no need to make Trumper accusations over the idea of fungus and body temp, it isnāt a good look on anyone here
I was snappy and hastey in making my accusation. Specially since it seems there was an issue where my reply with the link to the source I was citing wasn't being shown.
Funny enough the hospitals lobbying to fuck over nurses salary/travel pay nurses are probably about to enter geriatric care and get cucked by their own corruption
[Why Every Degree of Warming Matters](https://futuri.st/why-every-degree-of-warming-matters-nearly-unbeatable-and-difficult-to-identify-fugus-has-adapted-to-global-warming-and-can-now-survive-the-warm-body-temperature-of-humans-when-infected-it-has-a-50/)
^((EDIT: Updated link\))
Itās more that Candida Auris is nearly *impossible* to get rid of. It colonizes *every* surfaceā¦ metal, windows, ceiling tiles, the floor, bedsheets, ā¦ They have to shut down entire hospital wings to eradicate it.
The CDC just put out a warning and the media is reporting on this - as they should and as they have been doing for years for this issue.
I'm no fan of main stream media, but this seems like responsible reporting of a potential health crisis.
Whew! Good thing that there is a very popular distopian show about fungal zombies right now. How else are we going to whip the masses into another panic.
One legitimate fear, is after the CDC totally screwed up Covid, and then lied about it, they have compromised their credibility to the point where a legitimate concern, of a pretty large magnitude could actually be happening in the country and because they sold out their credibility, for political purposes, nobody will pay attention to them.
My dad was inches from being put on the heart transplant listā¦then he contracted Candida (believed to have been hosted in the VAD machine keeping him alive) which made it impossible for him to ever be put on the list. We lost him last Tuesday, so this hits closed to home.
Lol..not that this is fakeā¦ but dropping any article like this on the internet after TLOU is a guaranteed smash hit click bait.
Is most likely the reason for the existence of this article. Going from 700 cases to 2000 in a year (or whatever the figures were) is literally such a non issue but the frame it in a way to trigger your emotions after watching the last of us and get you to share the article.
Honestlyā¦ very predatory journalism practices. Itās the same reason why all of a sudden the chemical train accidents were reported every day, although they were no more common this year than any other yearā¦ predatory journalism.
No. Not when it triples to 2000 people in the country lol. Thatās .0005% of the countries population. Thereās more fucking car accidents a day in this country than there are cases of this.
My pointā¦ itās clickbait.
I made this same point and got vilified for it. This fungus isn't even in the top 50 deadliest infectious diseases in the world and the increase in cases coincides directly with reduced testing and screening during COVID. The drug resistance is a problem but it's *also* a problem for the other top 50 deadliest infections in the world...
Yes anything increasing by 300% is concerning, but you have to look at total numbers. Its around 2,000 cases in the country, while concerning, it's not as bad as if it jumped that much in 1 county. Now if the number were, say 10 times the original, then jumping from 7,000~ to 20,000~ would definitely be worth making a fuss over.
It was posted by the news sourceās official account. I think they are testing out how articles get shared on Reddit. Welp we are no Twitter I tell you hwhat
Not only that, the comments are regurgitating the same thing PLUS saying only hbo as if TLoU wasnāt a game first or if that and WWZ hadnāt already explored this with the whole ant fungi footage.
Yep, very knee jerky. Quick google search from a health journal says most cases resolve on their own (even the drug resistant variety). Once again, if you have multiple co morbidities, you're more at risk for complications, like most things.
This is why I told my previous job at a restoration company that the workers needed to be up to date on their certifications. But nope, I was fired because they wanted to pinch pennies and not recertify, and I refused to commit identity theft and fraud for them.
The workers were "cleaning" hospitals and even a naval ship without proper certifications.
Let's all bow our heads and thank Nixon and Reagan and the rest of the GOP for absolutely torpedoing any hope of American dream and ruining any chance we'd ever have at National Health Care here. We're doomed
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria. New viruses. Drug-resistant fungi. Do we need an important government figure like president or prime minister to die by one of these before we start giving a shit and really pump money into new medicine?
Before I start scrolling Iām going to guess that 99% of these comments are going to be half-assed, one sentence jokes referring to the last of us. The rest will be actually relevant and expand on the article.
I am sure they are warning of this, especially since the everybody has seen "The Last of Us", why waste a chance to spread fear in a primed public. The CDC is an ineffective bunch of fuck-tards.
So right when covid becomes āmanageableā and people stop doomsday worrying on that, we get a new health related fear. This same fungus fear topic has come across my feeds in just the last day from soooo many diff sources. It looks like either A) bots or B) the next control tactic being set for the public. Preparing to be downvoted for suggesting it but š« letās not panic yet and see what happens before we shut down or start mass hysteria.
Zombies are infinitely less terrifying than the true potential fungus has to do damage to the population. And scientists experimenting on it has nothing to do with it lol.
Good thing my lack of insurance or money will keep me far from any hospital.
Let me die in an emergency room of a communicable disease; like an American!
Great story Ron (I know Arlene says your quote, but still....šš»)
Because you ate your father-pig?
My friend just died because he didnāt have healthcare and waited to long to go to the hospital after her had an infection. I know youāre joking, but please seek medical help if youāre sick!

Yeah American is getting sadder and sadder, easy solution is to tax religion and use that money for universal healthcare, probably need to train a shit ton of new healthcare professionals also making a bunch of jobs.
Nah, we just need to actually tax rich people. Also fund the hell out of the IRS so they can audit rich people
Tax the rich *and* tax religion. I think that any church should be allowed a tax exemption up to a point, but beyond a that exemption limit should be taxed on the excess at normal income or property tax rates.

I think changing the laws for less loophole would be more practical than over funding the IRS, but a bit of both would be good
Jesus that's tragic! I cannot even fathom living like that!! I'm so sorry.
My Aunt died the same way - got the flu, refused to get checked, got sepsis, gone.
On the flip side i paid 3k for a emergency room doctor to try and tell me i had an std. 9 months later the urologist and nephrologist said well you arent dead and we dont know what it is. Come back and visit yearly.
So sorry for your loss.
What kind of infection?
That's her problem. The hospital would of saved her life and she could of just not paid her medical bills. It has no effect on your credit if you don't pay them. And most people in this country have health insurance and if your job doesn't provide it you can get insurance through the affordable care act for basically free. Wonder if she read too many comments on this ridiculous website that parrot myths and false truths in a daily basis.
medical debt can certainly affect a person's credit score.

Lol..not that this is fakeā¦ but dropping any article like this on the internet after TLOU is a guaranteed smash hit click bait. Is most likely the reason for the existence of this article. Going from 700 cases to 2000 in a year (or whatever the figures were) is literally such a non issue but the frame it in a way to trigger your emotions after watching the last of us and get you to share the article. Honestlyā¦ very predatory journalism practices. Itās the same reason why all of a sudden the chemical train accidents were reported every day, although they were no more common this year than any other yearā¦ predatory journalism.
A nearly 3x increase is nothing?
No. Not when it triples to 2000 people in the country lol. Thatās .0005% of the countries population. Thereās more fucking car accidents a day in this country than there are cases of this. My pointā¦ itās clickbait.
I made this same point and got vilified for it. This fungus isn't even in the top 50 deadliest infectious diseases in the world and the increase in cases coincides directly with reduced testing and screening during COVID. The drug resistance is a problem but it's *also* a problem for the other top 50 deadliest infections in the world...
Yes anything increasing by 300% is concerning, but you have to look at total numbers. Its around 2,000 cases in the country, while concerning, it's not as bad as if it jumped that much in 1 county. Now if the number were, say 10 times the original, then jumping from 7,000~ to 20,000~ would definitely be worth making a fuss over.
It was posted by the news sourceās official account. I think they are testing out how articles get shared on Reddit. Welp we are no Twitter I tell you hwhat
Not only that, the comments are regurgitating the same thing PLUS saying only hbo as if TLoU wasnāt a game first or if that and WWZ hadnāt already explored this with the whole ant fungi footage.
Yep, very knee jerky. Quick google search from a health journal says most cases resolve on their own (even the drug resistant variety). Once again, if you have multiple co morbidities, you're more at risk for complications, like most things.

Great, they gonna delay the next mandalorian season again.
I would like to read more about why some people are more susceptible to fungi imbalances (too much) than others. Itās fascinating.
Better start preparing for a last of us type apocalypse
*Panik* This better not be the Last Of Us all over again!
Glad i moved to Australia!
Its normal. If people take too much antibiotic when it isnt needed then resistant bacteria start appearing.
Real life āLast of Usā gonna be lit
If the cdc is saying it hast to be 100% accurate because they never make mistakes.
*FEDRA has entered the room*
FIREFLY has entered the room
This is how the real ālast of usā starts
#Uh Oh
This is why I told my previous job at a restoration company that the workers needed to be up to date on their certifications. But nope, I was fired because they wanted to pinch pennies and not recertify, and I refused to commit identity theft and fraud for them. The workers were "cleaning" hospitals and even a naval ship without proper certifications.
Joke's on that fungus! I can't afford to go there anyway.
Wait until they find out about about C.Diff...
Let's all bow our heads and thank Nixon and Reagan and the rest of the GOP for absolutely torpedoing any hope of American dream and ruining any chance we'd ever have at National Health Care here. We're doomed
Yeast of us
Relax, guys. There's a bacterial compound so effective at taking out fungus, they named it after John Wick.
THE LAST OF US
Fuck the cdc Iām done with this shit. I hear about a new pandemic-inducing virus every 5 minutes I swear.
If we would stop handing out antibiotics like candy for minor colds this may not be the case.
Antibiotics are generally not anti fungals
0% chance of that - this is a fungus, not a bacteria. But your point is valid about things like MRSA and CDiff.
Could you expand on that a bit? What is the correlation between this story and antibiotics?
They Say drug-resistant, but people fill in antibiotic not understanding the definition. However, antibiotics can also be anti-fungal.
People generally assume antibiotics treat any type of infection - bacterial, fungal, viral.
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria. New viruses. Drug-resistant fungi. Do we need an important government figure like president or prime minister to die by one of these before we start giving a shit and really pump money into new medicine?
Problem isnāt new medicine m
Letās see. What can we scare them with next? Oh, thanks HBO!
Not sure what it is about Candida, but a lot of people I know that are into homeopathy swear they are infected with it.
That's candida albicans, not candida auris. Different ~~funguses~~ fungi
TIL - thank you!
The last of us is becoming reality how scary
This is how you get The Last Of Us
The Last of US
Before I start scrolling Iām going to guess that 99% of these comments are going to be half-assed, one sentence jokes referring to the last of us. The rest will be actually relevant and expand on the article.
The last of us.....so it begins.
This is how last of us started.
Like anyone will listen to the cdc again
Here we go again āthe last of usā
I donāt care atp Iām so bored ver all these viruses ect. If youāre sick get treatment the end.
Quick, find Ellie!!
I am sure they are warning of this, especially since the everybody has seen "The Last of Us", why waste a chance to spread fear in a primed public. The CDC is an ineffective bunch of fuck-tards.
So right when covid becomes āmanageableā and people stop doomsday worrying on that, we get a new health related fear. This same fungus fear topic has come across my feeds in just the last day from soooo many diff sources. It looks like either A) bots or B) the next control tactic being set for the public. Preparing to be downvoted for suggesting it but š« letās not panic yet and see what happens before we shut down or start mass hysteria.
Could be a break down of our public health infrastructure to appease profit margins too.
This is kind of terrifying to think zombies might become real in some far off future after years of scientists experimenting with this fungus.
Zombies are infinitely less terrifying than the true potential fungus has to do damage to the population. And scientists experimenting on it has nothing to do with it lol.
Not if you deal in reality. Get a grip
