But a virus doesn't "spring to life." A virus is like a seed that just generates more seeds without ever making a plant.

- ajna91 7y agoThe seed analogy may be onto something. Some viruses don't directly cause the host to create new viruses. Instead they direct the creation of virus creating factories, which create the virus. Then you get virophages which are even tinier than normal viruses, which infect the virus factories of other viruses.
