Proximally and for the most part Dasein's comportment falls into the world and its bodying forth is being toward death. Covid announces itself as a deficient mode of being toward death, but proximally as a infectious disease, or [math]\lambda \omicron \iota \mu \omicron \sigma[/math]. We must return to the originary interpretation of this word as [math]\lambda \omicron \iota \mu-\omicron \sigma[/math], which we must understand as a predication of [math]\lambda \omicron \iota \mu[/math] to an existent. Only Dasein exists, and the predication of the disease as if the disease affected only a Cartesian body is what is uncovered in this translation. In the world-picture uncovered by enframing, [math]\lambda \omicron \iota \mu[/math] manifests proximally and for the most part in its discursive character which conceals that [math]\lambda \omicron \iota \mu[/math] is an existentiell condition of the curtailment of temporal ekstasis by its instrumental signification. The being of disease is the disease of being, only a God can save us.

Heidegger would think: Why is there bat rather than duck? :smile:

The time of plague is also the plague of time.

What this shows is that you have read too much - Hidelegger? - to be good for you.
