How fast do viruses evolve? You are so very ignorant. I suppose you never heard of the study of "slow viruses?" You are the most uninformed non-scientific person on this forum. Better ping the reserves in

Fast.

I suppose you've never heard of influenza.

I'm guessing ALS.

The term 'Slow virus infections' refers to the tempo of the DISEASE, not to the growth rate of the virus. Such diseases have a prolonged incubation period (which can be months or years), and a protracted, progressive clinical course.
