🚨 Metapneumovirus (#hMPV) causes severe disease in hem_onc patients, with ICU admission and mortality rates comparable to influenza and COVID-19. Yet it remains largely overlooked.

Fungi are levelling up and we aren't ready. 🍄⚠️

Climate change is eroding our "thermal shield," training fungi to survive human body heat.

The stats:
💀 3.8M deaths/year
💊 Rising drug resistance
🌍 Rapid geographic spread
