On Covid-19: Let Us Reason Together
Finding solution to its
Healing has become hard
Because it is defying
The common methods known
By the scientists and
Researchers. Latest news from
Yahoo, an update from
One of the Universities
Shows that in-vitro method
Of research gives a
Different result from the
In vivo infiltration and mutations
Taking place in the
Host cells which the
Disease infects. This indubitably
Points all to something
That we must not
Rest on our oasis
Neither leave the resolution
Issue to scientists alone
You can be a
Part of the process,
A part of history
Of finding lasting solution
To this menace that
Takes the world by
Storm suddenly, by using
Your inner eyes.
The use of your
Knowledge of logic could
Be employed to trace
The pathogenesis of this disease
If you can do
This you would have
Moved the world forward
By your contributions
Because no one is
All knowing, we all
Are created to help one another
Most especially during the
Period as this, trying
Moments for all and
Sundry all over the world
From the little read
About the group to
Which the virus Covid-19
Belongs, I have these
Closest Animal to Man
If in-vitro would not
Work, we can try
The animal that’s closest
To humans for this
Those animals on getting
Them could be injected
With the virus and
We start monitoring them
With the use of
Myriad technologies at our
Disposal we have been
Made lord over them
We are superior to
Them in thought, understanding
And in communion for
We are God images
This will resolve the
In-vitro method and we
Would come up with
Something remarkably brilliant
Bats
Since most documents stated
That the virus reservoir
Is bats we can
Equally make use of them
Bats are said to
Possess dual character in
The studies of it
Scientifically and locally
How we go about
Bats usage is studying
The viral metamorphosis as
It occurs in them
Because it transfers it
To the host cells
Can the metamorphosis be
Altered at this stage?
At any stages in
Bats can genetic engineers
And or generic scientists
Do anything in those bats?
Mutations
Research reports show that
Mutations that evolved producing
Different strains from the
Original template is albatross
Overcoming this albatross could
Come if our scientists
Could study the numbers
Of mutations that occur
Before it eventually becomes
Virulent, overwhelming host cells
Immune systems. If this
Number could be obtained
My thought is that
This could be employed
As what we produce
Would be targeted at inhibiting
Further laying of the
New virulent templates in
The host cells. This
Is how it is
Like a hunter that
Cannot neither arrest nor
Kill rats in their
Holes employ other means
Contacting other hunters or
Someone to help lay ambush
For the rats as they
Escape from the holes
Those would be vigilant
Pursue the rats, attack
Them and overcoming them
By weapons in their hands
Infected People
Since immunity of host
Cells are affected, to
Maintain lives of those
Affected their immunity should be boosted
Drugs that would boost
Their immune systems should
Be used while treating
Their symptoms "palliatively"
Drugs
Can extraction be made
From some drugs used
For treating others that
Belong to this group?
They could be modified
By the pharmacists adding
Some new ones to
Them to curb it
Natural Things (Fruits or Seeds)
There are fruits and
Other natural supplements proven
By research documentations to
Be anti-viral agents
Example is Bitter Cola
Scientific name is Garcinia Cola
With other naturally occurring
Substances could be tried
We shall win this
Battle against this Covid-19
This I am sure of
And what would be used
In overcoming it, would
Be something we do
Not pay attention to
Over the years.
