5/ The virus does its job brilliantly. Yes, reply guys, I am aware that it is not sentient. There’s nobody inside that spiky protein ball coming up with some master plan for world domination. No more than my code that does cool stuff without me, its creator, even knowing what the underlying equations are. It just works.

It found a host that walks and talks and flies around the world on airplanes. Initially, these were tough going for the virus. It was careful, denying it opportunities.
