CORRECTION>>>> they did not contract the disease they BROUGHT IT WITH THEM>>>> our country was pretty well cleared of all diseases due to our inoculations in the 50's and 60's and forward…. but over the years we have seen a dramatic increase in infectious diseases brought in by illegal aliens..
What a crock of crap. Anyone even listening to the citizen death committee needs their head examined. Cover it with clear nail polish. Fungus must have air to live, and you can put BLUE STAR OINTMENT on it several times a day for a week and it dies.
How highly contagious can it be if there are only two cases in a big city like NYC?
I wonder if it come through our southern border? 😂
So, everything keeps evolving. 🙄 maybe this is their way of telling humans to just leave this planet. We’ve ruined it.
Be afraid!! Stay inside!! Give them all your rights and money!! Blah blah blah
Uh oh. Fungus is evolving. Last of us is becoming a reality
CDC is corrupt and a joke. Proved it with CoVid .
Did you try legislating their reproductive rights
And the US via NIH gave another 2.9 million to China to study bats….again. As we speak.
I know people right now who cannot get meds they have been on most of their life. They can afford it, can't get it.
America has lost its way.
Where was she recording? Beside a bathroom?
YAYYYY SOUTH OF THE BORDER ILLEGALS!!!
Bleach resistant?
I heard this fungus escaped from a wrestling room in America.
Sorry next resistance to the next cream on its way
Well…no one is allowed to come over ever again…that is all.
Viruses, Bacteria and fungus
Also in your blood
Nope not dermatology
Athletic foot fungus
This was a common fungus
Thank you,its a beginning
