Flat Earth - Fantasy. Global Earth - Fantasy. What we call reality is, at best, a consensual fantasy. Parasites or viruses? Just complicated explanations for generation of a particular flavor of fantasy. [/quote]

Obligate parasites are parasites.
All viruses are obligate parasites.

Why don't we call them parasites?
