Perhaps but I don't think so. How can a virus develop and change if the host cell dies? Viruses are only able to reproduce within a living cell, so if DRACO kills the cell before the virus replicates, the virus can't mutate/evolve/adapt.mad825 said:Eh, the viruses will eventually adapt. At some point, it's going to be overused and will face very similar problems to what we are having with antibiotics.
While I agree with you that it is silly to remove all viruses, what about viruses that just about destroy the immune system, like HIV? The immune system can't adapt if its being weakened to the point of failure against even common virusesAlso, it's very stupid to try and erase viruses, They help all life to evolve in a sense of an endless arms race. They mutate into something powerful, we develop more powerful immunities.
OT: Why does everyone immediately jump on the zombie apocalypse wagon? Well, lets hope this gets tested throughly and gets used to help people. If it works, we could see a reduction in viruses like HIV.
