Collective intelligence

How are you, Natty?  Those are awesome shades.  I hope you are keeping safe while working, and maintaining your social distance.  Yeah, fame is a prison.  Your advantage is that you can make money, but I am not allowed to ask.  I'm sorry you have to work under such hazardous conditions, so please do your best to keep the virus at bay.  I've always thought that the flu virus is a collective intelligence, like the Borg from Star Trek.  Some ants got into my mother's sugar jar this morning.  These are the tiny ants about a tenth of an inch long, which I fondly call "death ants".  I told my Mom that once these ants know where she keeps her sugar, they're going to keep coming back.  I kept my sugar in a jar in the kitchen before, and the ants managed to get inside even the lid was on tight and I kept moving the jar.  Finally, I kept the jar in the cooler.  The flu virus has been around probably longer than humans, and had many mutations.  I believe the primary target of the flu virus is the lungs, and it gets there by infecting either the sinus cavity or the throat.  I haven't had the flu in years, by the Mercy of Allah.  I know that the best time to defeat the flu is in its earliest stage, which is a feeling almost an emotion, of infection of the sinus cavity or the throat.  If you were to procrastinate and let the infection advance, then you would be overwhelmed.  The key is to not be overwhelmed.  I noticed that the flu takes advantage of my situation, like when I'm cutting the grass, like when I'm busy commuting, like when I don't have any medicine available.  Hm.  A virus is a very small thing.  One solitary virus can't do much harm, but it sure can be blown to great distances by a gust of wind.  So it makes sense that the coronavirus is already everywhere.  I'm not sure if the coronavirus is a mutation of the flu virus, but I'm absolutely certain that its target is the lungs.  Therefore the first infection would be the sinus cavity or the throat, and the best reaction is to not get overwhelmed, therefore social distancing.  Being a predator, the virus would target the weak, or perhaps even choose carriers that have access to the weak.

The cigar is just a fashion accessory, folks!  She doesn't smoke!
