In the hit HBO hit show, the world has been devastated by a pandemic caused by a deadly fungus. Is that even possible? Could the next pandemic come from fungi? Turns out it's a very real question.
No one has ever said"fungi" in response to my query. And a fungus has never caused a massive pandemic, similar to what the world is experiencing with COVID-19. The reason? Viruses have several big advantages over fungi when it comes to infecting people. For starters, they spread much much faster.
"Furthermore," Marty says,"as [the virus] produces more viral particles, it has the propensity to have mutations." So I ask Marty:"If you had to put money on what's going to cause the next pandemic, would you put it on a fungus or virus?" gets the science right – or at least partially right. Most fungi live out in Earth's environment, such as in the soil and on plants. They can't survive in people because humans are too hot, saysThe Last of Us
