Six months before that we had the first scary Tridemic with COVID, Monkeypox and Polio on the roster. That one evaporated quickly when Monkeypox started popping up in children and pets (!!)... and the polio was traced to illegal immigrants. neoterra.us/blog/the-pandemic-trifecta
So, my friends, it seems that we are due for another round of pestilence. We already have two scary diseases warming up in the bullpen. Just one more and we'll have our third Tridemic.
According to the CDC "Candida auris is an emerging fungus that presents a serious global health threat."
The fungus started out as a hospital infection and become resistant to all current antifungal agents. It has especially targeted patients in intensive care units and those weakend by chemotherapy or a deficient immune system. www.cdc.gov/fungal/candida-auris/index.html#
My best advice is to stay the hell out of the hospital!
There is now an outbreak of malaria in Texas and Florida. According to the CDC, this is the first local spread of the disease in 20 years, which is confusing since the CDC also says there was an outbreak in 2008.
It's hard for me to consider this an 'outbreak'. As of Tuesday there was one case in Texas and four in Florida.
The malaria virus is conveyed by female mosquitoes and NPR (a bastion of truth) suggests that the current outbreak in Texas and Florida is due to Global Warming. YAY!
There are swirling conspiracy theories suggesting that Bill Gates is behind the current outbreak. I'm skeptical... but it is a strange coincidence that the Gates Foundation funded a program to create genetically modified mosquitoes and the Biden EPA approved the release of millions of these fraken-squitoes into Florida in 2021. You can read the glowing report from the CDC here... after all, unlike Jurassic Park, nothing could possibly go wrong when Bill Gates tampers with genetics:

My best advice folks is Repel 100. The Good Stuff.
