no god controls weather its not climate change or its the government messing with the weather
Sounds like the last of us
the answer to climate change and environmental factors like air pollution and air transmitted diseases in the topic discussion of preventing growth stunts because of lack of clean sources of energy that our human body needs everyday: is to give students individual study rooms that are well ventilated and purify the air coming in and out and have them there for every class. I mean valley fever sounds like your environment has become infected and your next. you need a cleaner environment right now and adequate sunlight when needed while inside the room. You shouldn't be outside without a mask because you dont know who is doing something to get or has a disease or illness or something bad. You need high-quality controlled environments that will take you straight to the top. aye are you guys breathing all the time because you are the one doing the breathing because God controls you 24/7 and you do nothing 24/7?
One of my best friends fathers contracted it in CA and died within one week . He thought he has a bad flu and didn’t go to the hospital until day 4 and they had to intubate while he was awake almost immediately once he arrived. After that he went into a coma with an insanely high fever and just never woke up:(
Why are they reporting this 2018 case now? Could it be that young people have lowered defence systems now due to the carrot jab?
Oh. And here I thought things couldn’t get worse. 🤦♀️😭
This is why we need universal healthcare in this shithole country.
Kids in Yemen starving commercial huh? Well the WEF suggests they should just eat bugs!
Those killer bees are the real problem
I'm a life long Arizonan. Valley Fever has always been a staple of culture here. Mostly dogs contract it. Because they're always sniffing dirt. Funny how they just created a vaccine for dogs. I guess humans don't matter?
I had Valley Fever for 3 months. It's no joke. Just caught it last year. Pneumonia in my right lung, sleeping 18 hours a day, every bone in my body ached. I thought I was getting meningitis. Valley Fever has a 10% fatality rate. Covid has 1%. Nobody cared when I'd say this. Because "Valley Fever doesn't concern them"
Anyways, Valley Fever is horrible. They don't talk about it much. Because it would scare off all the potential real estate commissions moving out here. I'm surprised this news release was published actually.
The Last of Us…
🤣🤣🤣 Climate Change! Can't Believe People Are Stupid Enough To Fall For This Lunacy.
I'm terrified for my friends and family that took the triple you know what.
Liberal Media : Quickly, people are beginning to crawl out of their dens again…
I had it in 1995. Thought it was a cold at first. Got so sick and then the diagnosis. I was treated for 6 months with diflucan. My lungs are filled with granulomas.
NBC will report anything to avoid taking about biden , this is desgustng .
resident evil or the last of us lol
"And may worsen due to climate change! "
It would be great to at least pretend to be objective. This is just fearmongering and specualation.
"Valley fever cases on the rise" wasnt good enough of a headline?
Could it be that due to Covid people were more isolated and careful, masks and all? We also lost some immunity due to the lockdowns, so an increase of flues etc is to be expected. Europe also saw an increase of flues and lung infections. Its kinda logic.
My ingrown toenail and broken washing machine are all due to climate change, I’m sure of it.
This sounds exactly like the last of us series on HBO
WTF
Arizonians don't take vaccines.
Climate change has been around for 10 of thousands of years, 3 ice ages, one volcano erupting same pollution as 40 million cars. Climate change is the biggest money maker now.
lmao another vaccine. good luck with that.
Sounds like long covid. How can you tell its not long covid? I feel like i have valley fever, but i know its Longhaulers.
Just another reason to stay away from the West 😉
Enough of this crap man, there’s a new virus every month at this point.
Valley fever is always something to keep in mind, both humans and pets. One of my dogs got it.
It's why it's important to be careful in areas where there's a lot of dust.
Those masks will come in handy.
i would say this.. take mold very seriously. Especially make certain to routinely get your air conditioners and home central climate systems cleaned at least once every two years.
Mold may not seem like a major threat but it can be life threatening and generally health impairing. It is true. as the temperature change so does the amount of pathogens produce. And our bodies which have developed to handle but so much and so many varieties of threats, If mutations occur due to climate change so our bodies will be defenseless.
Had never heard of this. So glad he survived it.
Show me the facts that this has to do with climate change????
Sending him prayer.
the last of us?!!!
