Very long rambly post, but i understand you were trying to connect it all.
But, in doing so, it really makes it hard to point out the flaws in each step.

The "novel" corona virus was novel because it was human engineered.
Viruses rare jump species.

It would be like a BETA tape getting into and infecting a VHS player.
(very similar but completely different structures for displaying video on a TV)

Each virus could be counted, because DNA is a string of code. You get a virus input, it looks for the spot in the DNA, and then produces those proteins or RNA.

There are only so many pieces in our DNA, so there are only so many viruses.

But we have only just begun to look at this interaction, and i haven't seen anyone categorizing it yet.

So, yes, scientist like to think that they know 99 of 100 virus types, but they actually know nothing.
Biologists in the future will look back on this era not as we look back on leaches, but even worse than that, as having no worth whatsoever.

In our short time of our latest recorded history, all we have seen is the disappearance of species. We haven't seen any beginnings of species. But we are starting to.

Like there is this breed of coyote/wolf. Large coyotes are small wolves. And they breed true. And the breed seems to be a mix of coyote, wolf and various dogs.

Species do not evolve by random mutation. We will know this rather soon. There are other forces that create, not a mutation, but a change in species to a new species.

Like the 99 of 100 viruses, scientists think they understand the brain. However, this is completely false.
Ask anyone who has had OBEs or done any heavy tripping, thought does not occur in the brain. The brain, instead is this interface between thoughts (out there somewhere) and the meat robot that allows for us to experience physicality.

The brain is literally a crystal radio... no, billions of crystal radios, tuned to all kinds of specific frequencies. Currently we do not comprehend the frequencies, the tuning, or the encoding. Scientists know next to nothing.

It is only because the brain is so complex that it interfaces with Elon Musks "neural link". The "neural link" does not interfaces with the brain.

So, we have the transhumanists trying to put a subset of what it means to be human into a box, thinking that they can become superhuman. Actually it seems more of a way to make subservient humans that will forever do the bidding of their masters.

Again, anyone who has done meditation and gotten "out there" will never ever think that they could put their consciousness in a little box.

At our current technology level, a computer the size of the moon would still be considered stifling.

And we are here, on this planet, in these bodies to experience things. Things including this novel covid virus and all the implications thereof.
