An Internet female user hiding under the nickname blueflowerpower has become known by writing unusual blog posts related to the New Virus. She calls attention to the signs and symbols accompanying the virus story, and generally sees the New Virus as a mysterious sign of some significant global change, rather than as another epidemic that humanity is about to overcome. That’s what she writes about the deadly discovery in an ice cave:

‘I noticed that for some reason no one paid attention to the tiger’s pose and its position in the ice. Its body was located strictly on the West-East axis, while its head pointed to the East. By that the tiger foretells us a new dawn, a new day’s rise and a new future. Its paws were twisted under the chest, and he seemed to have frozen to death while sleeping soundly. That means he was calm and turned into self. It’s not a destructive state, but a state of peace and tranquillity. It’s tail curls up and forms number 9, in the outline of which, as we know, there is a circle—a symbol of harmony and infinity. The fact that the virus came to us through a tiger can also tell us a lot. Cats are freedom-loving, clean animals that can move not only horizontally but vertically as well—climbing trees and steep slopes. This indicates that this virus is to connect the states and nations not only ‘horizontally’ but that it is also able to bring us ‘vertical’, spiritual purification, to lift us to such peaks of spirit, where otherwise, if the virus had not invaded our lives, we simply could not reach. Although it may, on the contrary, push us down to the very bottom, where mankind never dwelled.’

And here is what blueflowerpower writes about the New Virus itself:
‘Have you ever wondered why this virus is called the New Virus? All previous viruses had much more prosaic, technical, let’s say, names: Ebola, swine flu, avian flu, coronavirus, HIV… Such names they received either by the name of the area where they were found, or depending on the way they acted, or according to what was similar in form to the structure of the virus carrier cell. But we don’t see any of those characteristics in the name New. What does that indicate? We are told that scientists simply still can’t determine exact structure and cellular composition of the virus—do you really believe that? Then why wasn’t it, for example, named after the caves where the tiger was found? Or something else that would indicate some of its characteristics. I’ll tell you why. Because its main characteristic is to be New. Something completely new to us, you understand? Like the coming of Christ or Buddha or the detonation of an atomic bomb. Maybe this virus is our new Christ. Think about it.’

Finally, another curious observation, this time she comments on the comparison of the New Virus with plague epidemics in the Middle Ages:
‘Recently, I’ve often seen the New Virus compared to medieval plague epidemics. But you know, I see a big difference here. The medieval plague was very, let’s say, material. Plague is all about shut-down contaminated cities, abandoned and burnt corpses, stench in the streets, getting drunk in a company of rats, and Decameron. And what comes with the New Virus? We read about it on the Internet, we look at the pictures and videos in the news, we often do not know the names of cities where it rages. Instead of mountains of corpses, we are shown white, smooth crematorium walls pointing to the sky. Symptoms of the disease are constantly changing and manifested in different ways, which makes almost impossible to track the spread of the virus. The new virus is an ether, a spirit, an energy hovering everywhere and visible nowhere.’
