Wuhan clan ain't nothing to f*ck with / what would V. do?

Is it dangerously lackadaisical to be thinking that maybe there's a probability vector wherein these little snippets of DNA or in the present circumstance RNA could actually be glommed onto and utilized for the ongoing activities and projects of a life form rather than being a noisome nuisance?

I remember as a very young person being fascinated by the notion of gold in seawater, just waiting to be extracted. Riches in unexpected places.

In the video where the virus uses a passkey kind of projection to access the cell and then hijacks the nucleus and ribosomes to run off scads of copies of itself like a zany Xerox machine or a sorceror's apprentice, there's this alternate scenario where some kind of organelle or something in the inter cellular matrix snarfles up the virus with a tiny sucking sound. Then it's dismantled, right, and the parts can be reused. Riches gleaned!

Which is cool, but those in the know say that as a novel virus, the capability to do that is not currently among us (but how do they know that?) 

So a step further, positing a benevolent universe, could these things not just provide raw materials but even become a useful part of a life form, like a pet, or mitochondria - maybe they're some kind of genetic patch kit that just needs to be applied correctly. 

Moving on.

Science fictional speculation - what if immunities are also contagious - if they are, hope they can jump a further social distancing gap than the Covid can, and outrun the spread of the epizootic!

But even more science fictionally, and if I had even a shred of narrative talent this'd be a good theme. The concept of identity is fluid and largely based on habit, if one decided to just roll with the Coronavirus and become a large round ball with projections, traveling like a tumbleweed, the only hitch would be getting your friends to accept you as that.

I think V., having accepted various inanimate accoutrements as part of her person, would not quail at such a transformative potential.
