I think you misunderstood my post. My point was not that viruses are trying to give you a fever. My point was that thousands of years ago this was true. Random stories were files, story telling was file sharing, telling a story by definition burns energy so increases heat. Anytime you use energy you make some amount of energy which gets burned off and often results in atleast minorly increased temperatures.
Yes, I understood that but I saw no connection to the post. I guess I see it now. Thanks for your patience
