Now researchers have turned to yeast to do something more improbable: manufacturing the cannabis compounds CBD and THC. By loading brewer’s yeast with genes from the cannabis plant, they’ve turned the miracle microbes into cannabinoid factories. It’s a clever scheme in a larger movement to methodically pick apart and recreate marijuana’s many compounds, to better understand the plant’s true potential.

Maybe has some relation to this www.abovetopsecret.com...
The glacier had been growing again. Guess you didn’t get the memo. We are going into a Solar Minimum which means the climate isnt getting warmer right now.

People's heads transforming into sprouting fungi mounds and before you know it, we're stockpiling Spam and Tuna to trade for safe travel through the walled-off cities.

There are different theories as to what happened with C. auris. Dr. Meis, the Dutch researcher, said he believed that drug-resistant fungi were developing thanks to heavy use of fungicides on crops.
Gee, thanks Monsanto...

It's actually not. It's pretty old, spanning across four different strains and hundreds of thousands of years, if not millions.

I would hazard a guess that this was a developed strain, ie a bio weapon.
It is truly just too good at what it does.
It appeared suddenly and is highly resistant.
Is capable of infecting a whole hospital room ... not just the patient!
Truly remarkable.
P
In fact, the first reported strain popped up in 2009.
"The first time doctors encountered C. auris was in the ear of a woman in Japan in 2009 (auris is Latin for ear). It seemed innocuous at the time, a cousin of common, easily treated fungal infections." (Richtel et al)
Now, the CDC theorized that it must of originated from Asia and spread onward, however, after analyzing the entire genome from other samples as far as India, Pakistan, South Africa, Japan and South America, they realized it was much more to it then a central point, in other words, there isn't a GROUND ZERO 😶 and not relegated to one strain, but MANY 😳
"The C.D.C. investigators theorized that C. auris started in Asia and spread across the globe. But when the agency compared the entire genome of auris samples from India and Pakistan, Venezuela, South Africa and Japan, it found that its origin was not a single place, and there was not a single auris strain." (Richtel et al)
It showed that there were four distinct versions of it and difference were so different that it diverged of over several hundreds of years and simply remerged as resistent pathogens from, "harmless enironmental strains in four different locations at the same time" (Richtel et al).
"The genome sequencing showed that there were four distinctive versions of the fungus, with differences so profound that they suggested that these strains had diverged thousands of years ago and emerged as resistant pathogens from harmless environmental strains in four different places at the same time." (Richtel et al).
It's exact introduction still eludes us, but its been here, it has ALWAYS BEEN HERE...
“Somehow, it made a jump almost seemingly simultaneously, and seemed to spread and it is drug resistant, which is really mind-boggling,” - Dr. Vallabhaneni said.
The amazing thing about this stuff is that it has no intelligence. It simply exists.
it also,
procreates
but
kills its host.
o yeah and
it found a way to survive without a host
Its one billionth our size and it can kick our a$$. And it will.
Bugs like this have been around since long before people and they will be here long after we are gone. They evolve, adapt, invade and conquer. Its what they do.

Fruits and vegetables are virtually bathed with fungicide shortly before or after harvest. Farmers do this to extend the time between harvest and spoilage. That’s why a carton of strawberries now last weeks in the refrigerator instead of days.
Like invasive weeds that are resistant to RoundUp, now we are seeing fungus evolving. The weaker strains are killed off while mutated strains with resistance to fungicide flourish.
Bayer/Monsanto has a variety of fungicides as does Dow Chemical. I think Dow’s most popular fruit and vegetable fungicide is called Pristine, or something like that. Bayer has one called Luna.
Imagine. If a treatment-resistant strain of fungus makes it way to a carton of strawberries in the store, we will put it willingly in our bodies, sweetened with a little bit of sugar.
