As if the horrors of COVID weren't enough, now there's 'Black Fungus' to add insult to the injury. It has been declared an epidemic in multiple states already, and the system is now in another big fix.

Mucormycosis, also known as 'black fungus', is not any new infection but the number of cases has increased due to COVID-19. According to experts, chances of fungal infection increase in the patients who are diabetic, COVID positive and are taking steroids. They also said that 'misuse of steroids' can be one of the major causes behind this new epidemic.

Now, Mr Arvind Kejriwal recently spoke about it but his two cents on the topic proved to be extremely expensive. He recently appealed to the hospitals and doctors 'to use steroids in controlled amounts, as patients need to control their sugar levels because a mixture of steroids and sugar is causing Black fungus'. Here's what he exactly said:

I want to appeal to all hospitals and doctors to use steroids in controlled amount. Patients need to control their sugar levels. Mixture of steroids and sugar is causing Black fungus. We have made special arrangements in 3 govt hospitals: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal pic.twitter.com/Y0p8lHtnz2

We hope Centre will provide us sufficient number of injections(for Black fungus). We've made a team of doctors that'll give injections to affected patients as per SOP. Yesterday, they received 84 applications from different hospitals regarding injections: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

Engineer-->Doctor? I mean WHY would doctors use steroids in uncontrolled manner? Sometimes our politicians go way out of their breadth. God save people of #Delhi. #BlackFungus#Singaporevariant#COVID19India#CovidIndia

No, they did NOT hold back. Especially after the fiasco where he was slammed by Singapore as well as the MEA a couple of days back, the timing couldn't have been worse.

He just keeps advising everyone on everything without any competence. If he remains silent #Delhi may do better

Some even unlocked their meme arsenal and used the choicest ones.

Well, it does look like people are angry about the Oxygen debacle and the overall sorry state of Delhi. Let's hope Black Fungus isn't the next big challenge. Stay safe, folks!
