“If you think about the way viruses behave, biologically, their reason for living is to replicate and spread, and there’s really no advantage for the virus to kill the host,” said Armitage.

What a virus wants to do is infect a host and be contagious so it can infect another host and it can continue to spread.

So sick of this weird pagan idea of virus-as-peer. Viruses are not sentient beings. They do not think, make plans or make choices.

OK, maybe you can help reword the sentence to make the virus less sentient. We all know what the word “wants to” mean and we associate it with the nature of viruses, not sentience.
