Viruses are neither dead nor alive. The are inactive when they are floating about in the air inside "The Beast" on a presidential drive-by or lying on the handrail of the steps up to Air force One. They become active when they come in contact with a nice moist host cell in the mouth, eyes, nasal cavity or lung. They only become inactive again when Trump shits them out with what's left of his 4th Big Mac of the day.

Viruses 'not being alive' is more of a philosophical claim than a biological fact.
It's a debate for simpler people to have because obviously viruses are alive.

I said active not alive.
for that first comment and I understand they're not technically living things, I say live here to distinguish between 'working' and 'broken'. yes they are 'dead' things but they reproduce in our cells, at which point they are sort-of alive. not that I'm claiming to be an authority or expert on the matter. they don't have DNA do they? just RNA?. It seems the US have a test that show if the virus is in a state that it cannot infect living cells. call that what you will but I figure 'dead' does the job for simplicity's sake.
