"The Infectious Dose" Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

"a few hundred or thousand particles"
"The viral load is a measure of how bright
the fire is burning in an individual, whereas
the infectious dose is the spark that gets
that fire going, " Edward Parker at the
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
"… in the case of covid-19, it doesn't necessarily
follow that a higher viral load will lead to more
severe symptoms."
"For instance, health workers
investigating the covid-19 outbreak
in the Lombardy region of Italy looked
at more than 5,000 infected people and
found no difference in viral load between
those with symptoms and those without.
They reached this conclusion after tracing
people who had been in contact with
someone known to be infected with
the coronavirus and testing them to
see if they were also
(SARS-CoV-2 virus)infected."

(‘Love the One You're With'
Crosby, Stills & Nash)

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember
who
you're
talking to
Concentration slip away
Because your baby is so far away
Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you
love
honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Don't be angry, don't be sad
And don't sit crying over good
times you had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for
something to do
And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you
love
honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Do-do, do do, do do, do-do
Do-do, do do, do do, do-do
Do-do, do do, do do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together, make it nice
Ain't gonna need any more advice
And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you
love
honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Do-do, do do, do do, do-do
Do-do, do do, do do, do-do
Do-do, do do, do do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do

"Wheel in the Sky"

Winter is here again oh Lord
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer

Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
Ooh, I've been runnin' down this dusty road

Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
Ooh, I can't take this very much longer, no

I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
The mornin' sun is risin', it's kissing the day

Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

My, my, my, my, my
For tomorrow

Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps me yearning
Ooh, I don't know, I don't know

Oh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Ooh, I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps turnin'
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

Watching any of those "Conspiracy" video'
on youtube bout wheels in the skies?

"… Similarly, when doctors at the Guangzhou
Eighth People's Hospital in China took repeated
throat swabs from 94 covid-19 patients, starting
on the day they became ill and finishing when
they cleared the virus, they found no obvious
difference in viral load between milder cases
and those who developed more severe
symptoms."

"Although it
is difficult to draw
firm conclusions at this
stage, such studies "may
impact our assumptions about
whether a high number of viral
particles predisposes to a more
serious disease, " says van Schaik.

Then, there is always that caveat!

"… in its early days, but if the initial amount
of virus a person is infected by doesn't
correlate with the severity of disease
symptoms, this would mark covid-19
out as different from influenza
MERS and SARS."

"The World Is A Ghetto"
War

Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Looking at the sky, starry-eyed
Searchin' for a place, weary-eyed
Crying in the night, teary-eyed
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
Wonder when I'll find paradise
Somewhere there's a home
sweet and nice
Wonder if I'll find happiness
Never give it up now I guess
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto

Connections, connections, connections
then connecting these connections to the
path back to the beginning of the infections!
Ummmmmm! Down that rabbit hole again!
Pasteur? Gabriel Pouchet? Filippo Pacini?
Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch? Really?
National Institutes of Health
United States Department of Health & Human Services
United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps
Marine Hospital Fund in 1798
"The Marine Hospital Service soon began
taking on new expanding health roles that
included such health initiatives that protected
the commerce and health of America. One
such role was quarantine."

"Blues Clues" see how easy to dig-out-ditties?
So, ain't no news new news! Na-nu-na-nu!
"Na-na-na-na… Na-na-na-na… Hey, hey…
Goodbye! "

"… in 1889 to facilitate a mobile force
of health professionals that could be moved
for the needs of the service and country …"

"Na-na-na-na… Na-na-na-na…
Hey… Hey… Hey…
Goodbye"

"… Later that year of 1889, President
Grover Cleveland signed an Act into law
that formally established the modern Public Health
Service Commissioned Corps (then the Marine
Hospital Service under the Supervising Surgeon
(later Surgeon General)) . At first open only to
physicians, over the course of the twentieth
century, the Corps expanded to 11 careers
in a wide range of specialties to include
veterinarians, dentists, engineers, pharmacists
nurses, environmental health specialists
scientists, dietitians, and "other"
allied health professionals …"

"… The commissioned corps
was featured in the 1950 motion picture
"Panic in the Streets"
in which Richard Widmark portrayed a
Public Health Service physician tracking
down a victim of pneumonic plague, an
infectious disease that is one of three
forms of plague, the other two being
septicemic plague and bubonic plague …"

Na-na-na-na… Na-na-na-na…
Now are your phuucking paying attention?

The commissioned corps may be militarized
by the President.42 USC 217 states:

"In time of war, or of emergency involving
the national defense proclaimed by the President
he may by Executive order declare the commissioned
corps of the Service to be a military service. Upon such
declaration, and during the period of such war or such
emergency or such part thereof as the President shall
prescribe, the commissioned corps (a)shall constitute a
branch of the land and naval forces of the United States
(b)shall, to the extent prescribed by regulations of
the President be subject to the Uniform Code of
Military Justice [10 U.S.C.801 et seq.]
and (c)shall continue to operate as
part of the Service except to the
extent that the President
may direct as Commander
in Chief."

Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)
Ummmmmm… not the same (pcp)
that made ya walk on clouds!
Sherms… remember them?
Funny HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
But currently not so!
The Human Species
is so utterly
Phuucked!

"…Pneumocystis specimens
are commonly found in the lungs
of healthy people although it is usually not
a cause for disease.[3] However, they are a source of
opportunistic infection and can cause a lung infection
in people with a weak immune system. PCP is
especially seen in people with cancer
undergoing chemotherapy
HIV/AIDS cases, and the use
of medications that suppress
the immune system… "

"Signs and symptoms of PCP
include fever, nonproductive cough
(because sputum is too viscous to become productive)
shortness of breath (especially on exertion)
weight loss, and night sweats. Usually, not
a large amount of sputum is produced
with PCP unless the patient has an
additional bacterial infection. The
fungus can invade other visceral
organs (such as the liver, spleen
and kidney) , but only in a
minority of cases."

"Like that bridge over troubled waters…"
Cross what? indications, expressions, suggestions
and whatever other "ions" charged that are so
detrimental to the health of the human husk!
Phuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

SARS-CoV-2
just a few hundred
particles and you are through!
Say, what is the next cause of
the destruction of all of humanity?
In that book? Hell, Fire from Heaven?
that "infectious dose".
