Ah. Way it was described was a fungus, yes, that was mutated from covid, or at least the people that I know that were talking about it. Could well be that they were mistaken in that. Some of them are known for talking a bit as they watch, so could be they missed something, or maybe read that into it?

I myself never bothered with a mask or ever changed anything I did any more then I actually had to, I always figured that when my time came, it would come, and not until then. Nothing can stop it when it does. I do feel bad for all of the people that were separated from family and friends and such when they got sick and were in the hospital though, and weren’t allowed to see them or spend time with them, even or especially at the end.

I always thought that that was very cruel and unnecessary. I have since then lost all respect for the medical profession, as it seems to me they have no empathy at all for the patients in their care or their families.

It’s a form of the cordyceps fungi family that infect and puppet their human hosts. This fungus in real life cannot infect humans but does infect insects such as moths and ants and affects their behaviour. Absolutely not a virus, nothing to do with covid. It spread by spores in the bites of infected humans and in the area of some sites where lots of infected have become immobile and some infected types can launch spore bombs in the game.
