Researchers in Brazil found SARS-CoV-2 uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the body’s defenses. It can dodge the immune system before invading cells, then manipulate the host cell’s genetic material after infection—an approach not previously seen in other pathogens. This helps it escape detection.

I have so many good ideas, but I am forced to labor under capitalism, so I rarely get to use them. Maybe instead of outsourcing my brain to the machines we could introduce UBI and let people create while machines work. Idk idk
