minus-squareJustas🇱🇹@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·11 months agoThe great minds of YouTube speculate that this outbreak has a fungal component. China had a lot of floods this year. All that moisture and mud created an environment for mold to develop. People would breathe in a lot of mold spores which would weaken their lungs and immune systems. In weak lungs, bacteria like mycoplasma could develop and thrive, causing pneumonia. It’s just a theory for now, but we’ll see how it develops.
