Thanks Steve. I’ve said many times that our equipment to detect minute temperature changes has improved dramatically and is far more accurate than it was 100 years ago. In addition, we are placing that equipment in places we didn’t travel to 100 years ago because it was just to hard. Those places have much more extreme temperatures. Add those to the mix and things start looking more extreme. Same goes for detecting “new” fungi and viruses. We can’t look for something that we don’t know about.
A great piece, Steve. Love that term -- "Scare-a-graph" Shows an entire field is limbiclly dominated on a broad scale level. Not conducive to systemic rational thought.
thanks for the article! We just formed a C. auris workgroup in Florida, and the overall goal was to assist the long-term and specialty care units who often shift the patients around from facility to facility or don't take them at all because of fear and lack of guidance and over-sensationalism like you mentioned.
Candida auris is not affected by alcohol-based disinfectants, while all competing microorganisms are - which is why it was able to spread in the Covid era when everyone was using these disinfectants daily.

Science!
