Hi everyone! I am in desperate need of some help. My pothos I have had for years and was thriving beautifully decided to start with some leaf disease. Seems to have progressed rather quickly and attacked most of the leaves.  
I just can’t tell if it is fungal or bacterial, or both, and what to do first. Do I spray it? Repot it? Stressed about it spreading as well.

Is it even salvageable with how many leaves have spots? The big stems off the roots also look brown…might also be some mould or honeydew in there?

Any help is appreciated!

okay so: there’s still new growth, which is awesome!!! the stems look fine. my best suggestion would be to prune off any affected leaves with sterilized pruning shears, and maybe cut back some of the bare stems. after that, give it a good wipe down with a mix of a few drops of dawn mixxed into a cup of water. optional is a few drops of neem oil as well! then give it a good wipe down with a regular cloth and maybe stick her under the shower for a bit for some extra cleaning ☺️ good luck!

Could be thrips. They like to chew a layer off the underside of leaves especially the new growth. They are hard to see.
