It is truly amazing that a nonliving particle can bop around indefinitely, finally accidentally finding its way into a human host, where it is apparently regally escorted to a cell where it can set up shop and take over the cell’s manufacturing capability.

Then, somehow, and for some unknown reason, this nonliving particle is ejected from the cell and out of the human, back into the air, where it again bops around for another indefinite period of time, until it once again accidentally finds itself inside another human host where it is again escorted into a cell where it takes over THAT cell’s operating mechanism …

And on and on…

Being nonliving, this particle is presumably not mobile on its own, but is completely dependent on chance and whatever it happens to encounter to move it around.

Truly amazing…. ;)

How about this? A bag of trash falls off a garbage truck and is blown around and run over, finally finding itself in a city where an Uber picks it up and delivers it to an ice cream plant. It is escorted to the factory floor by some security guards where it somehow takes over the production line for a while, causing the plant to produce trash ice cream until it makes its way back out and ends up back on the street, waiting for another opportunity to do the same thing all over again.
