“I’ve always believed that what doesn’t kill you, makes you very very weak.”

Don’t they usually mutate to less deadly forms? Killing their host isn’t exactly a successful strategy.
yes, killing the host is considered a jerk move in the microbial community, but some still take the suicidal path, it’s a bacterial insanity issue
Totally 💯
AIDS didn’t get the memo, try emailing them.
HIV won’t kill you. It weakens your immune system so other diseases kill you.
No but it does mutate at a lighting rate. That’s why we can cure it. Something about protein strands constantly evolving.
Airborne respiratory viruses in humans tend to decrease in lethality. This doesn’t really transfer anywhere else. The decrease in severity in is due to selection pressure from human quarantine behavior.
Killing the host is normal in single celled organisms. The most common method viruses leave the cell I by causing it to burst open.
Killing the host is also common in the plant world.
I see my mistake. I was overly focused on airborne data. Malaria hasn’t really changed for the better has it. Thank you.
Isn’t the bacteriophage, kind of a good guy virus ? Or is there other viruses with this distinctive shape ?
I’m missing something here, because I keep seeing posts like this one that have no content. No images, no videos, not a text post, it’s just the title “What doesn’t kill ya” with no explanation.
I see all other posts elsewhere fine, it seems to just be posts in this one community, or from this one user maybe? I’m not sure.
I’m on Boost if that makes any difference…
The image just loaded very slowly for me (i.e. after about 10 seconds). In some posts it never loads at all, but there is a thumbnail in the main screen. This is on sync.
It’s a play on a saying
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Demotivational shoulder patch!
