One other issue - the viruses for the more severe diseases tend to be the
least successful, because they kill their hosts before transmission or
encourage development of a cure. The cold virus, for example, will likely
never be wipped out and is along very few which can be caught more than once.
So, do we make lethal or successful viiruses good?
