Viruses are not, in the conventional meaning of this word, alive.
They force bodies to recreate them, but they are essentially a weird form of single use pendrive.

Quoting a source i didn’t check :
>Most biologists say no. Viruses are not made out of cells, they can’t keep themselves in a stable state, they don’t grow, and they can’t make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
