Virusses are neither intelligent, nor clever.

They are not aware and they are not even alive. They are a piece of genetic informaiton only, and an entry opportunity or not attached to it. Think of them as a lockpick with an agent smeared on it. The agent can do good or bad things if the lockpick opens the lock, but it certainly changes genetic information.

Maybe that is the reason why virusses even exist. To introduce an element of creative chaos to existing gene pools.

Estimations say that 8% of the human genome originate in virusses having altered human genes.

Thank you Skybird.
Can you make a virus smart in a Lab ?

"Smartness" needs either the existence of a chip or a neural network.



Can you make the tip of a nail smart? A grain of sand? A ray of sunlight that becomes visible in moist air?

FDA Authorizes Additional Monoclonal Antibody for Treatment of COVID-19

I know an individual that had the treatment. He was almost 100% after 3 days.

I was thinking on the Lab theory. Could the Chinese have altered the original virus SARS virus ?
And are they still doing it ?

The first question, that in priciple is possible and part of research done in high risk laboratories (in practically all higher developed countries) dealing with virus infections, cures for them, as well as military research.



The second question, well, that is being hotly debated, isn't it.
