Thank a Virus Today, They Pretty Much Are Responsible for Keeping You Alive

Give it a look. Our view of viruses is built primarily around what we see and experience of them as humans: IE they make you sick, scare the crap out of the media, and perhaps turn you into zombies (ok, not that one. As far as you know...) Still, it's important to keep in mind that we're surrounded by them all the time, and many of them perform important functions. For instance, without some of the viruses discussed in this article, no rain clouds. You know, those aren't important. Who needs rain?
