why do viruses try to kill the thing keeping them alive?
In: Biology
Viruses don’t normally try to kill a host. But the host body has reactions to a virus, and those reactions are usually what kills the host, especially in a zero day virus that the host body has no information about how to fight. It’s almost like the host body declares nuclear war on the virus in an attempt to rid the body of it, and that kills the host. This is why unknown viruses are so dangerous, and why simply letting them get you sick is an incredibly bad idea. All these people during COVID saying to just go get sick, stupid idea.
