Oh what a tangled web we weave.....

Have just caught this on the 10 o’clock ITV News and this is a sketchy version of the bulletin:

A new malady has appeared in Pune, a region of India, called (forgive the spelling, I’ve not seen it written) Mucomycosis. It affects the brain, the face, and the lungs and is very aggressive. It leaves sufferers very vulnerable and it has been found to seriously affect patients with C-19 and is resistant to treatments for the C-19 virus.
Does anybody know anything more?

We are in for a long haul it seems. I wonder for how long this been known or suspected. It certainly, if true, goes some way to explaining the fearful looks on ministers’ faces.



Edit: 29/6 for attribution (thanks):

“You have to have surgery for mucormycosis, you can’t just have medicine. People end up losing their nose or sometimes their eye to get rid of the fungus. It can go up into the brain and that usually is fatal.”
