big phrarma:
oh noes, there's a new fungus among us, time to get the mRNA machine cranked up.
Well if the fungus manages to get into our vital organs how do you propose we get anti-fungal medicines in there to wage a fight?

C. auris generally will not infect healthy people
C. auris is still mainly a hospital-acquired pathogen and generally does not affect healthy people.
All of the patients in the United States identified as having C. auris infections also had serious underlying medical conditions. And unlike many other types of pathogens, spread of C. auris outside of the hospital setting is still extremely rare.

The book Cold Storage by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepps has a similar set up. A hardy fungi forms out in space on a rocket part that falls short back to earth. It infects hosts who are driven to climb to their highest surrounding point where it then bursts free.
