Donald Trump as an Infectious Virus: A post election perspective.
/√ The word "virus" comes from the Latin word for poison.
√ Because viruses carry some but not all the
elements of life (genetic material but no cell structure),
they are considered organisms “at the edge of life”.
√ Some viruses can evade immune responses and
result in chronic infections.
√ A host virus’s genetic material can be passed on “vertically” to offspring for many generations.
√ To control a virus, the host must be identified and separated from the community.
√ When a virus infects a large percentage of a population, it is called an epidemic. If an outbreak spreads worldwide, it’s called a pandemic. They usually return for a 2nd and more lethal wave until immunity can be established by the affected community (“herd immunity”).
