    The flu virus is actually truly amazing. Hardly at its worst. The ability to completely change their genetic code in one year is pretty awesome.

    It's bad for us, but definitely amazing in nature

    This makes me wonder.... Are the viruses used like pest insects for living creatures? Without prejudice, it kills the weak, leaving only the strongest to live on.

    I mean like pest insects are attracted to weak plants and eats them until they are destroyed.
