“Mucormycosis begins to manifest as skin infection in the air pockets located behind our forehead, nose, and cheekbones and in between the eyes and teeth. It then spreads to the eyes, lungs and can even spread to the brain, leading to blackening or discolouration over the nose, blurred or double vision, chest pain, breathing difficulties and coughing up blood,” said ICMR.

Yeah, a superflu that drowns you in your own mucus just wasn’t apocalyptic enough, you know?
holy shit, this is scary
Black Fungus (Mucormycosis) specifically targets people with weakened immune systems
and a treatment for COVID-19 involves suppressing the immune system, thus weakening it
also, Black Fungus has high mortality rates and has a rapid onset
basically a plague that preys upon the weakened, finishing them off
So this is what wikipedia has to say about it:
The most common risk factor among patients was diabetes. Patients developed the condition after hospitalization. 7 of the 8 patients died from the condition. Early aggressive treatment may be more effective than waiting. In general any mucormycosis has a mortality rate of 54%.
uh so at least it’s a fungus so you’ll probably have to be hospitalized in a shitty Indian/Russian clinic to catch it… I hope :blob-no:
