How authority and power infect

“Infect?” In a medical/health-care context to infect means to contaminate (especially with some disease or “some disease-producing matter; as in communicating pathogens.”) All quite negative to one’s good health.

However friends, in my caption “infect” is used in the very negative sense as today’s provocation refers to the all-too-familiar  “condition” in which the power-patients become victims of status and position and whereby very many make unfortunate victims of others. How rampant infections caused by position becomes.
