Biology

noname [10]3 years ago

Viruses are not alive. Although they sort of “hack” a host’s cells and reproduce, they do not breathe or move on their own. A virus will sit on a counter forever if it’s untouched. Viruses are spread by physical contact, not because they can move around on their own.
Although viruses can attack and hack, and use your cells to reproduce, they are programmed to do so.
Cells are very much alive, while viruses are not.

suter [353]
The answer is confirmation bias. This is the tendency to look for evidence that will confirm ones hypothesis and  ignoring anything else that does not lead to the hypothesis. In this situation confirmation bias is evident due to the fact that you look for anything that confirms your hypothesis and ignore anything else that does not point to drug abuse.
