A thought:
What do viruses want? What is their end-game?
Not the death of humanity. Their goal is to spread indefinitely. In theory, a virus doesn’t want to kill the host, unless there is some sort of biological benefit to killing the host.
For example, Corona Virus doesn’t need to kill people in order to spread. Perhaps people dying from COVID-19 is just a side-consequence of their weak immune system. My theory:
COVID-19 doesn’t wanna kill people, it just wants to spread.
Viruses don’t want to (intentionally) kill their hosts.
Let us consider– what do viruses want?
A virus is an organism. It wants to spread and propagate itself.
Going “viral”
Do you remember when people used to say:
It’s going viral!
Now we think — this is probably in bad taste.
But when we think about the notion of going ‘viral’, we mean to say:
We want to spread something on the internet widely, and get a lot of people to view/consume/watch/experience something.
So perhaps the same notion is for viruses. They want to spread as widely as they can, to propagate their own genes and species as far as they want.
