How did a single celled organism evole to affect systems like our sinuses so that it can spread to other people? How did it figure that out and how does it know how to do that today?

It got created the same way as everything else, I don’t know. It was always able to infect our bodies, and it was always apadting. People have helped it to adapt too, by using antibiotics, the weaker viruses were weeded out, and the stronger ones became the norm. If your asking how it was created, then I guess God, so that it would do the same to us, weed out the weaker ones.
If anyone could answer this question, they’d know the secret to life. Those things all happened long, long ago. Generically, it was a virus that had an adaptation that allowed it to colonize sinus tissues. Human may have developed the sneeze as a way to get rid of these creatures, but they just used the sneeze as transport to fresh fields.
@wundayatta Good answer.
You have to admit, it’s absolutely brilliant how things evolved like this.
