What's the name of the fungus? Maybe it's because the hospitals need to change their air filters more often. once they know that this fungus is in their hospital they don't belong doing surgeries when their air filters test positive for this fungus.

Candida A.

Why has no one brought this up if it first appeared in 2020? Also, where did it come from? There have been brief mentions of newly discovered bacteria due to ice melting, but no follow up.
