                    [Title] => Viruses versus humans: Can we win the war?
                    [Summary] => 



Last week, Mishail Tupas told us how viruses, those tiniest of parasites, manage to make us suffer again and again, and sometimes even kill us. Those pesky little critters do it by continually mutating, so that, although we have an immune system that defends us against their attack, we continue to be victims of viruses year after year. This is because our immune system only reacts to an attack – it only defends – it does not take the fight to the enemy.


In a fight, if we choose only to defend, the best that we can hope for is a draw.
