Winning the Battle Against Covid-19
The evolution of it shows that
The fore parents were said
To have been existing since
8000 BCE having Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta
Its initial name was SARS-CoV-2
But since its upsurge in
December 2019 its name has
Been changed by health organization
Its now christened Covid-19
Because its full-blown effects
Were felt in 2019, in Wuhan
From where it gets to the world
It is said to be a member
Of a non-living organism called virus
Which can be inactive on
The surface of non-living things
Their dormant period varies depending
On the substrate on which
They lie, waiting for the
Time to enter living cells.
Living cells are called hosts
Could be the micro-organisms
Like bacteria to animals like
Bats and mammals like humans
When it enters living cells
Cells which are surrounded by
Plasmalemma with fluid like inside
Called cytoplasm in this lies
Nucleus and other substances those
Things that distinguish each cells
Are like suspensions in this
Fluid like area called cytoplasm
Here, they bathe and are
Lubricated receiving foods, nutrients, oxygen
And other materials for growth
And excrete waste products
When Covid-19 gets attached to the
Plasmalemma also called cell membrane
It instantly changes disposition becoming
Active, shooting out its “spikes”
Those spikes are thorn-like in
Nature, by these thorns they get
Themselves attached to cell membrane
Which is followed by endocytosis
By this endocytosis the contents
Of the viral agent would be
Emptied into the cytoplasm of
The host and proteins are produced
Covid-19 like others in its
Group like SARS, MERS, Ebola
Virus yea common cold which is
The non-lethal among all
Are Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) in nature
And are positive strands moving
To nucleus of host cells. Nucleus could
Be Deoxyribonucleic-Acid (DNA) or RNA
When it gets to nucleus
It stimulates the RNA producing
The non-essential proteins. The
First products are said to be Negatives
Positives produce negatives while these
Negatives also produce positives like
A photocopier on which the
Original produces the carbon copies
These nonessential proteins come together
Like agglomeration. These agglomeration produces
Another strains of RNAs and these
Changes in structures are moved
Moved into some other compartments
Within the host cells. From these
Compartments they undergo other changes
Before being moved to plasmalemma
From where they would be
Released by exocytosis. Since their
Structures are abnormal to the
Normal proteins in the respective cells
That they are in contact with
They start fighting them. Those
Nonsense proteins fight to a
Stand-still normal host cells proteins
Overwhelming and silencing them that
Is how they unleash their
Terror on the host cells. It
Is for this reasons that
Drugs and vaccines could not
Work on the host cells infected
This is the mountain that
Researchers are trying to surmount
If the membrane could become
Toxic to them or hardened
Or receptors on plasmalemma
Denatured and or something be done
That could hinder the negative
Templates being formed within the
Hosts leaving only positive strands
Then they will lose out
Their potency would be lost
And humans would have won
The battle with the posterity
Blessing people of this generation.
