And Wikipedia proves what? In the podcast two virologists disagree on this point, so it still comes back to how you define life.

Viruses are alive - they reproduce. Dead things don't.

They can't reproduce by themselves outside a host cell, so perhaps you have just put them in the "dead things don't" category. Shouldn't "live things do" category only include things that can reproduce by themselves? Ah back to how we define life again.

I wonder how many people out of that 6.5 billion have got "the flu"?
