Yeah, it definitely hasn't enjoyed being isolated. It's behaviour has changed markedly, it seems to be scratching its fur a lot and is noticeably unhappy.

I would triumphantly conclude that, having provably isolated the virus now, I need to show how you can catch it from a surface or through the air.

I tried shoving the virus up my nose but it wouldn't quite fit in my nostril. I think TIC might have been onto something all along now as I can't see how you could physically catch the virus from inhaling it - which means that all those anti-maskers might be right after all.

Of course, having the virus stuck in your nose might technically count as 'catching it' and thus actually being infected? That is clearly why infected people are immune (obviously having a virus blocking each nostril means that nothing else can get in, so you are immune)

In a startling new development ..... I have also established the cause of so-called 'long covid' too.

As part of my experiment to see if one could catch my newly isolated virus from a surface, I also licked it up and swallowed it yesterday. This morning, I have discovered that the virus is now lodged and is blocking my anus so I can't have a poo.

Logically, I will not now be able to expel that virus from my body for some time now ............ so I have long Covid.

I will keep you all informed of my continuing ground breaking research in due course!
