I remember reading, several years ago, a paper from a scientist in which he described observing germ organisms (from different strains) joining with foreign germs, and exchanging "data". The reason he knew there was an exchange of data was that resistance characteristics of the first germ showed up in the second germ, after the exchange, and vice/versa. The same type of behavior or mechanism is present in viri, that is why they constantly change.

An incident that happened years ago shows the extent of how far humans are willing to go themselves, the corpses of people who had died from the flu pandemic of 1919/1920 were dug up from the permafrost of Alaska, the viri cultivated after removal from the bodies, put into aerosol form, and released in selected American cities, as a test for both viability and dispersion methods. I don't think it was very successful, but wow the logic!

Some really bad things begin with someone saying "Watch this!".

Have a good day!!
