Virus Background:
A virus can be seen as a parasite particle containing code.
It is not considered a life form.
It is reliant on a host.
It uses a cell that it attaches itself to.
The code of the virus then tells the cell to create a new virus particle.
(therefore the parasite likeness)
The defence against the virus is the immune system which recognizes the virus and kills the host (in this case - the cell) which prevents the virus from functioning.
Evolution:
Through ageing the virus learns to hide from the immune sytem.
Younger generations can more easily pass go undetected.

Points (man)
1. Birth
2. Young and curious (learning)
3. Puberty
4. Reproduction / Family
5. Building experience
6. Memory fades, friends & family cease to exist
7. Death
Points (virus)
1. Finding of a host
2. Small population
3. Using the cell to breed and spread
4. Hiding from the immunesystem
5. Encounter resistance
6. Slowly breaks down by immune system and/or active resistance
7. Host killed - code destroyed
Parallells
| . | VIRUS | MAN |
| 1 | The virus needs a host-cell of the right kind for its specific purpose | Man can not live on any planet |
| 2 | The virus uses the machinery of the cell to reproduce | Man uses the resources of earth to reproduce |
| 3 | The virus stimulate the cell to split, which can result in cancer | Man exploit earth, which puts earth in a cencer like state |
By mapping the lifecycle of the virus you can apply it to various other situations.
Advertisement for example, can have a virus-like effect.
