The second type of BoNaV is the Daronavirus or DaroNaVirus (DaNaV). This is a particularly insidious strain, but it is two sided. When it initially manifests itself, it is ultra aggressive, alpha male-like. It seeks to cause extreme fear, but when opposed, stood up to or counter-attacked, it hastily retreats back into itself with total panic. In short, it is a virus that is not used to being talked back to. A bully virus, so to speak.

Finally, there's the mother of all strains, perhaps the most extremely violent kind of BoNaV—Maaronavirus or MaaroNaVirus (MaNaV). In this breed of virus, the bacteria has been inside the person's system for a long time, undetected. It has been growing and festering, like in the inside of a volcano. It hasn't had a chance to be emitted, because the environment has not been conducive, but when the MaaroNaVirus fully forms, it is truly venomous. It realises that many of its brethren have formed simultaneously, and so when the time is right to 'explode', it emits itself in a truly inflammatory manner. People suffering from the MaaroNaVirus use words like 'Goli', 'Gadaaron' and Mughal Rule in 2020. (This virus contaminates the air for five-year periods).

In the various BoNaVs, common signs of infection usually include vocal symptoms like snide comments, and sloganeering. In more severe cases, infection can cause a permanent scowl and loud shouting.

Standard recommendations to prevent the intake of the infection spread include covering mouth and nose. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of BoNaV such as shouting, sneering, even hand gestures and finger pointing.

Reports have come in, a new virus has been discovered that doctors feel may eradicate the BoNaV.

It's called CAA.
