Regarding point 1: I'm glad you get excited about these things. I get excited about these things too. Actually, part of why I love Newsflesh so much is that you clearly spent so much time thinking about the viruses, and so many people... well, don't. To them, viruses are sort of like this magical black box that just makes things suddenly happen. As someone who studies viruses, I really appreciate this. A lot. Viruses need more people like you!

Regarding point 5: I knew you had big cats but somehow didn't make the connection between size and being able to eat you. This suddenly makes a lot more sense!
