When we see the word virus we often think of a illness that can make us sick. In today's climate the word brings considerable worry, for very valid reasons.
However, there's estimated to be millions of viruses around the world many we haven't even heard of yet.
While a planet swarming with viruses might cause worry and alarm, it really shouldn't. Most viruses don't affect Humans or even most animals. We're exposed to viruses everyday of our lives and the vast majority of the time we don't get sick due to them. Think of it as crossing a busy road millions of people round the world do so everyday and the vast majority will never get hit by a car and those who do are unlikely to get hit again and again yet there's millions of cars.
A large number of viruses keep us healthy in our digestive system, it's swarming with viruses, some making us sick and some that help our bodies fight off other viruses, by keeping them in check, like a micro ecosystem.
Viruses can also be used to fight another virus. While Covid 19 is a threat and we should take it seriously, it's important to realise that vast majority of viruses out there are either harmless or actually benefit us each day without us noticing.

Think you will find that its bacteria that are useful and required to survive in the digestive system. A virus by definition needs a host cell to live and reproduce almost like a parasite..it cant reproduce on its own bacteria can reproduce without a host.. |

We dont have "good" viruses in our gut....its bacteria. Viruses survive by reproducing inside host cells and basically ripping them apart. While there are thousands of viruses that do not affect human cells there are no good viruses. |

Viruses (or any other living thing--let's forget the question of whether a virus is actually alive or not) do not exist to either harm or help anyone. Neither do bacteria (or animals, or anything). They are simply looking for a way to survive and reproduce.
Their goal is NOT to kill us, this defeats their purpose. Killing the host means they can't continue their mission (reproduction).
So--yea, this post makes sense in a very basic way, if you ignore the inaccuracies.
Can you name a virus that is used to fight other viruses? My mind has gone blank on that one.... |

Obviously some people here aren’t familiar with Dr Hildegard Lanstrom’s research on the existence of positive viruses.
They can have some pretty extraordinary effects, google it if you like |

A very interesting piece of research. The toaster told me all about it.  |

I had no idea. Thanks for the input!
"It is revealed that Lanstrom originally died during a birthday party for one her fellow scientists at the research base. When Lanstrom suggested to a d*unken, philosophical physicist that he was a merely a product of her imagination, the other scientist cut off her head with a fire-axe, at Lanstrom's own goading, to see if he would cease to exist. He did almost immediately cease to exist, since he was almost immediately shot dead by a security guard after committing this act. Lanstrom found the whole incident rather ironic and hilarious when she was revived as a hologram, indicating that she was very likely psychotic before contracting the Holo Virus, and before she even became a hologram." |

Did it offer you a nice warm waffle at the same time ?  "
Muffins, we don't like muffins round 'ere! We don't want muffins, no toast, buns, baps, bagets or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no teacakes, no potato cakes and no hot cross buns! And definitely no smegging flapjacks! |

"Finally someone standing up for viruses. It must've felt like a fab single male for a while."
I'm not standing up for viruses. My point was millions of viruses exist in the world around us and the vast majority don't pose us a threat.

Hmnn, my point is it only takes one virus that we have no immunity from to cross species to pose serious risk. |

Yes and it is a serious problem.
However the vast majority of viruses can't affect animals or humans. They generally affect microscopic lifeforms.
It's the few percent that do that cause worry. |
