What the heck is the Miasma virus?? And why would Cold deliberately infect herself with it? Like, is she NUTS!?

First off yes, Cold is nuts. It's the defining character trait that differentiates her from the sane Sarahs.

Second, it has been a while since I researched the Miasma virus so some of the information I'm about to give may get a few things wrong. With what I can recall, the Miasma virus is a vampiric virus that infects people through cuts/bites.

Though despite being a form of vampirism the Miasma virus is much more like a stereotypical zombie virus, causing flesh to decay and the body to rot. However whoever is infected practically becomes immortal, and although the host of the virus will lose their sense of self the being that remains still retains notable intelligence levels; such as knowing to avoid Kali in PuppetGAME because she absolutely destroys them.

As far as I'm aware, the Miasma virus doesn't have the stereotypical weaknesses other vampires have such as sunlight, though I may be wrong about that. If you want to know more about them I suggest watching Vampires in Romania on SSTWL since that's where they first appeared.

As for why Cold would deliberately infect herself? She's insane and obsessed with being with John, therefore she's willing to anything to be with him and will kill anyone she views as a threat to his safety or someone that will "steal" him from her. So when you're dying in the snow and the sentient WMD is walking towards him with the intent to murder him, turning yourself into a nigh unkillable monster at the price of what little sanity you have seems like a logical choice.
