Bacteria damage tissues through a sort of blunt force trauma. Viruses inject their genetic material into the cell, hijacking its internal functioning and re-purposing it to manufacture more viruses.
The aim of this collection of short papers is to try to prevent the same thing happening psychically. To try to prevent our thinking being hijacked in the same way as the cell victim of the virus: Or at least to reflect on the process as it is happening.
This book is a series of comments and discussion about the psychic effects of Covid as it affects us all, psychologically and culturally. Psychic effects as distinct from the physical effects on those who are unlucky enough to both catch the virus, and then have a bad reaction to it has, sadly, proven fatal to many.
