Re: Basic question about infectious diseases.

The bugs that need living cells either die or
revert to the spheroplast or other dessicant
forms, and can contaminate.

Depends on the bug.

For example, when they dug up those
Spanish Flu victims from the permafrost
it was definitely a biocontainment area.

If you have a bacterial or viral infection that is causing you

bacteria and viruses grow more quickly, or do they grow less quickly?
And as the body decays, are the bacteria and viruses displaced by other
bacteria, viruses, or fungi?
Thanks.
