The India of Covid-19 to the Black fungus
Coronavirus infection and death figures change rapidly and vary according to the level of aggressiveness of the new Covid-19 variants, including confirmed and probable cases, of which the USA ranks first with 33,238,422, followed by India with 27,157,795.

In the particular case of India, which ranks second with the most infections and 311,388 confirmed deaths (Figures reported in: Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University), beyond this sad reality, a new health nightmare is added, as an estimated 9,000 cases of mucormycosis have been reported.
This pathology, mucormycosis, has been vulgarly labeled as the "black fungus" infection, mysteriously this strange infection has been affecting patients recovered from Covid-19 causing the death of more than half of the people who contract this deadly fungus.
According to medical reports, this fungus affects the sinuses, brain, lungs and can cause death in diabetic patients, immunosuppressed, cancer patients, and all those suffering from Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
For India, the "black fungus" has already become a bigger challenge than Covid-19 itself, hence, it is being assured that if patients do not receive adequate treatment in time, mortality can escape up to 94%.

OBSERVATION
Greetings @lupafilotaxia it is amazing that we have been attacked by diseases that have seen us as a very weak species despite advances at the scientific, technological and economic level. It seems that we are being billed for our behavior. Thank you for your contribution
Greetings friend @madridbg, I also see it from that approach, they are literally attacking us. Thanks for visiting the blog.
Hi @lupafilotaxia
It is amazing how much damage this virus continues to cause. Some months ago I heard that the Virus that produces Covid was created in laboratory, with genes from different diseases. It seems crazy even to think about it, but I know that viruses can be made, I know that very well, but that the same.man has produced this disaster, I prefer not to believe it.
Greetings friend @josevas217, if the damage caused by this virus is a mystery, note that these of being exposed and come into contact with this type of microorganism "black fungus" and that our defensive system does not react is something that has been greatly accentuated in this pandemic.
Thanks for visiting the blog.
not only black fungus but there several new diseases born after covid like white fungus and yellow fungus too. So that mean even if you save yourself from covid, black fungus, white fungus and yellow fungus will eat you for sure.
Greetings friend @luckyali, wow I have not read about these two fungi you mention, no doubt, after covid-19 our metabolism is very compromised and the attack of microorganisms will affect us even more our health.
Thanks for visiting the blog.
