In the middle of the night I woke up for a bathroom break, after wich I started drawing a haemorragic fever virus, one with darling little protein blobs on the outside. A pathogen which wasn't actually discovered till the late colonial period in the area where it occurs. And cute little warning pamphlets telling little children not to play with dead rats.
A beautiful deadly blob.
It isn't quite dangerous, as most infected people will not manifest symptoms or even a fever. Only a few are actually sick for one or two weeks, with the symptoms you'd expect.
And a very small percentage end up no longer alive.
Imagine spheres with tiny jewelled globe cacti erratically scattered across the surfaces catching the light under the microscope.
The illustration isn't finished yet. It's going to be a casual project, which will progress slowly as I fill in the blanks, on both the picture and my knowledge. More reading is required.
In effect, I have a virus on my computer. There are others, because of previous explorations in the wonderful world of infections and pathogens, discovering stuff in the rabbit hole.
It's kind of like tourism in distant parts, if you will.
This is in no way connected to an appointment with my eye doctor before Chinese New Year, nor a scheduled visit to my cardiologist next month. The chances of me dying of something frightful are minimal to non-existent. It's an abstract fascination which may have it's origins in finally getting some medical attention when I got insurance. At that time I started reading up on medical matters, initially on the conditions for which praescription were quickly written.
Then the pandemic started. Which was a veritable goldmine of reading suggestions and mountains of misinformation. You might say I was "doing my own research", and getting mighty distracted by blinky things along the way.
Caffeine is one hell of a drug.
By the way: I already knew that bleach, ivermectin, aquarium cleanser, avoiding gluten, and swilling apple cider vinegar didn't work. I am more than ever flabbergasted by some people being able to draw completely wrong conclusions, ignore facts, science, and common sense, and enthusiastically swim in oceans of horsefeathers. That 'doing your own research" often seems to mean credulously believing utter nonsense which supports their own theories.
There is absolutely no nanochip in the vaccine.
People who believe there is are nuts.
