Abstract
The COVID-19 narrative has been the story of a pathogen, probably created in a Chinese wet market, somehow jumping from the animal kingdom into the human population and basically destroying our bodies from within by virtue of its reproductive rapacity or viral "virility".
However, given COVID-19's well documented impact on the mind, inducing delirium, feelings of exhaustion and other psychosomatic manifestations, might it be worth considering the possibility that SARS-CoV-2's virility and reproductive efficacy is interdependent with a radical change in human bio-psychology?
In other words, might some seismic alteration in human bio-psychology and psychosocial relations have occurred that predisposes human beings to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, of which the delusions and other neurological or bio-psychological disease insults are "atypical" symptoms?
Might the much noted higher covid-19 death rates among males point to or reflect a distinct, possibly "new" phase in humanity's perennial, existential battle of the sexes?
