Kill all viruses

Ugh. Gone down with something nasty today. Worst thing is that I was already at school by the time it started to kick in. Now I'm stuck here wanting to just keel over and die. Not for the first time I wonder just how much suffering the common cold and similar ailments has caused to the human race. The worst thing is the knowlege that it is being perpetrated by near-inanimate aggregations of molecules. At least with bacterial infections the responsible organisms are alive. Viruses on the other hand... I think I'll just stay in my little world of self pity here. After all there's not really anything I can do about this. Still, I suppose I should be grateful that it's not something worse. I'm not though.
