Like for example, the cold sore virus apparently stays with you for it’s whole life once you’re infected. But it has “active” phases where you actually have cold sores, and then it can go away and just lay dormant inside your body after, until it’s ready to do it again.
What’s the point of this dormant phase? How does the virus benefit from this? In my mind, it would make more sense if you always had cold sores once infected.
If we know the virus doesn’t leave and is just having a spa day when it doesn’t feel like doing it’s thing, how come we can’t get rid of it? If we know what the problem is, and where the problem is, why can’t we do anything about it?

If you would have cold sores all the time, people wouldnt kiss you and the virus would not spread. So it evolved into a come and go state.
