My very brief foray into studying biology basically said that a v***s isn't exactly a life form. That was in the late 70's and they may have changed their minds by now...maybe even more than once. I will defer to your expertise then. If it were to ever thaw out....could it be dangerous?
It would depend on the integrity of the casing of the v***s. If the casing is severely damaged the bits of RNA would leak out and be innocuous. Additionally, if the spikes on the outer casing are severely damaged then the v***s cannot attach successfully to a cell surface.
Given that a v***s is a sac of "stuff" then anything that ruptures or damages that sac would "k**l" the v***s. Freezing creates osmotic stress on the sac, and the formation of ice crystals both inside and outside the sac can mechanically disrupt the membrane. The key in successful freeze preservation of anything is minimizing the damage from both factors. With foods you are trying to maintain texture, taste and nutrition, while with "living" things you are hoping to maintain function.
You are correct that a v***s is not a life form (so "k**l" and "living" in quotes above) in that it cannot replicate on its own. It effectively enters a cell and dumps its RNA into the cell "factory" and the cell goes and builds v***ses instead of what it would normally do.

Yeah, kinda like Trumpism took over all rational thought from the Republicans in the House and Senate.
I hear there are a few like The Lincoln Project that are trying hard to get The Party back on the right track. Fox running an ad for the project really pissed POTUS off last night.

You lose.
You resort to personal attacks proving I am 100% right as usual.

You realize that you are losing your mind.

I had the HK flu and it was brutal.
It also is a c****a v***s.
I’ve never had the flu since.
I do suspect I had C***D in February.

That answers a lot of questions.

It was not a c****av***s - it was an H3N2 influenza v***s. It did k**l a lot of people - mostly those over 65 - in two years it k**led about as many Americans who have died in the past two months. Most people who got sick were only sick for the typical 4-5 days, not the three weeks or so of this current v***s. It waned in the summer, as most influenza v***s epidemics do, and came back with a vengeance the second year.

That was precious.
And I even learned -- oops, saw -- a new word today from my teacher. Someday it may make it into a dictionary.

Population densities are far greater now than then. Shifting populations (in particular, by way of air travel) are far greater now than then. Consequently, the likelihood of t***smission is inherently greater now than then. We should be massively more cautious. Different game; different ball park.

I can’t fault you for calling your own post a lie.
