minus-squarestarlinguk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 months agoFun fact: so far they’ve found 7 viruses that cause cancer.
minus-squarestarlinguk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoTrue, true. Anyhoo. You don’t want any virus. Even a “harmless” virus like the common cold can fuck shit up.
