Schrodinger's Virus

Of course strictly speaking a virus is neither alive or dead anyway. It doesn't have the means necessary to reproduce hence must use a host to perform the process of replication using either RNA or DNA depending on the particular virus.

Actually that's true.

Don't sound so surprised!

Don't sound so surprised!

I've talked with intelligent conservatives and liberals for a long time. So I am not really that surprised.

You beat me to the punch.

Meh...doesn’t fit. How does observing a virus change its nature?

for that matter, how does a virus change its behavior......

 

[Mott the Hoople]

for that matter, how does a virus change its behavior......

It changes from reproducing just its Nucleic acid in the host cell (lytic cycle) to incorporating its Nucleic Acid with the host cells Nucleic acid (Lysogenic cycle).

In layman’s terms it changes its behavior from being contagious to not being contagious.

Oh, you brainiacs, ruin Damo’s joke.

Not really, conversely you can say all viruses are alive and dead at the same time.

Kinda like liberals: living bodies, dead minds.

If you have to analyze a joke, it’s ruined.

Did you hear about the new conservative car? It only goes in one direction. Backwards.

If you have to analyze a joke, it’s ruined.

If you didn’t analyze it, it wouldn’t be funny either.

Nah, just you nerds.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Clever.

The point wasn't whether it was alive, it was whether you could observe having it or not having it... that is the question.

Thanks for proving my point.
