a coworker shared this with me and i felt i should share it here. from the article:

He emphasized that the new fungus may not be as bad as those other infections. But the potential is there, he said, and now is the time to get ahead of the disease.

But it is already clear, he added, that this is “another emerging fungal disease that has really broad host ranges.”
