COVID Intelligence

Tuesday, 09 August 2022 By Sir Cumference

COVID19 is an intelligent virus
Like any parasite it fights to survive
It listens to its host for signals
And then adjusts its containment accordingly.
It can hide in a toe or a teste
Or in a wounded knee.

The clever host does not fear COVID19
The clever host exploits the fucker
The clever host knows 19 is listening
and proceeds to issue commands.
The clever host takes advantage of the invader
And uses it for systemic aggrandisement.

Just as psilocybin communicates with it's imbiber
COVID19 listens
So if you are fortunate enough to contract this clever virus
Proceed to issue it commands!
And instead of it lazying around in your lung or spleen
Get it to work repairing whatever you need.

Although there is no known `laugh center' in the brain, its neural mechanism has been the subject of much, albeit inconclusive, speculation. It is evident that its expression depends on neural paths arising in close association with the telencephalic and diencephalic centers concerned with respiration. Wilson considered the mechanism to be in the region of the mesial thalamus, hypothalamus, and subthalamus. Kelly and co-workers, in turn, postulated that the tegmentum near the periaqueductal gray contains the integrating mechanism for emotional expression. Thus, supranuclear pathways, including those from the limbic system that Papez hypothesized to mediate emotional expressions such as laughter, probably come into synaptic relation in the reticular core of the brain stem. So while purely emotional responses such as laughter are mediated by subcortical structures, especially the hypothalamus, and are stereotyped, the cerebral cortex can modulate or suppress them.
