The AI image generator spelled "quarantine" wrong (not to be *that* person). I would also love to hear insights about other insidious infectious diseases, such as cryptosporidiosis.

Cryptosporidiosis sort of fits the same framework I'm offering for Covid - Th1 responses are effective for clearing it, and people who guess wrong and mount a Th2 response get into more trouble with cryptosporidium.

The AI image generators misspell everything - I guess it's a defense against copyright squatters. And Bing Image Creator actively scolds you for prompts that include real people's names - so the similarity to a China Mieville novel is purely coincidental. Actually, not that coincidental. I chose the cover image from among about two dozen others. Because the creepy horror novel imagery seemed about right for my experience of Covid quarantine.
