For the lazy, it's Candida auris. It's a fungus that infects immunocompromised people in hospitals and is very resistant to many existing antifungals.

Good thing it's not a big hub with a massive international event coming up this weekend!

Vegas is basically a big virus mixer, all super spreading all the time!

This must be the melting pot our forefathers envisioned.

They envisioned a super bug that literally makes us melt, and we're almost there. The best of times, so excited.

And also the following week lol

Appears to be something spread in hospitals though
