A good article indeed.

Reading it, at length, it basically says that the Romans had no plural for this 
noun.

Now that is interesting in the current context because that means that there is 
really only one virus in existence, and that my friends,

is called,


MicroSoft!

Sorry just couldn't help myself :-)

Obviously, the Romans were more far sighted than we originally thought.
