Sounded dystopian until I realized it was in reference to sequencing the virus variants, not the hosts.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoIt is a viral dystopia though, they are being persecuted and decimated left and right and have to fight for survival. (this post is tongue in cheek of course)
- tim333 6y agoThe anti-vaxx alliance is their only hope.
- elwell 6y ago> You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus.
- nicolauz 6y agoThis quote always puts me off. In individual virus might be that - but thats not how virus live as a species/group/form of existence. Usually they are a thriving and useful part of the ecosystem they belong to. Virus, under normal circumstances, will live happily along a bunch of other guests in foreign hosts. No issue. It's human that give virus a bad raputation! We breed the fuck out of them and then are shocked when this bits us in the ass. Or in other words: The only way this comparison (human==virus) gets accurate, is when you use the human-super-breed version of "virus" (edit: leave vs. live)
