And adaptive. They “learn”, adapt, go dormant, etc.
Hell they even have at least DNA or RNA
So you can’t cure a virus no more than you can cure a lion
Meanwhile bacteria cause infections. So if you’re looking to attack a bacteria you’re trying to cure the infection.
So take something like scurvy, which you can “cure” by giving someone an orange.
