You will find out more about this shortly as the infection vector occurred on December 15th in northwest territory, its had over twenty days to spread amd now its reaching populated areas. Somebody had to post this to start talking about it. Its a gray-goo situation in terms of sci-fi plots and its the end of this world. This is the reason Justin Trudeau resigned, so he can head for the bunker and leave a clone behind (canada and northern US get eaten first). It infects birds that land on it and influences their behavior parasitically and spreads much further than its ground contamination provides for.

It means none of these things like the wildfires or the presidency matter anymore. My information states clearly we will not be reaching the Inauguration, between now and then the first reports of the spread of this stuff and human infections will be coming in.

As for what it will do to people, The Thing (1982) is a good example, except it eventually just eats them up too and they dissolve into more red fuzz. We called it Red Fuzz because its like the green fuzz from the creepshow segment except red, it doesn't seem to need water to spread though.
