I was scrolling on Weibo the other day and came across a news story about a killer fungus sweeping across the USA. Several deaths with 60% percent chance of death, they said. Well that was certainly news to me so I googled it. Nothing. Not a single shred of information. I wrote it off as shoddy Chinese journalism.

I don't think anyone was really reporting on it notably until a big NYT[0] article a few weeks ago.

Yeah when I read the first time about it 2 weeks ago I also found almost nothing on google. Also the Wikipedia article doesn't have the depth it deserves I guess.

Social media spreading poorly sourced articles strikes again.
