    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 . We must return to the originary interpretation of this word as , which we must understand as a predication of 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, manifests proximally and for the most part in its discursive character which conceals that 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.
