Superbug fungus cases rose dramatically during pandemic | HealthNews
The fungus, Candida auris, can be a fatal risk to fragile hospital and nursing home patients.
Cases of a dangerous fungus tripled in the United States over just three years and more than half of the states have now reported it, according to a new study.

The condition, known medically as prosopagnosia, causes a very specific impairment: trouble discerning one face from another. Even the once-familiar face of a loved one might as well be a stranger’s.

Continuity Planning?
Thinking back to Monday 16th March 2020 I remember getting up early. I was due to visit one of our homes in Tewkesbury. I was just about to leave the house when an email landed from a senior Director telling us all to ‘Hold’ all visits and be ready for a conference call that morning. Yes, this was the start of the ‘Lock Down’. With the benefit of insight, how ready were we for what was about to happen next?
