        No. They have different stages of activity, but they do not "age"

        that's a mind bender. if: virions maintain virulence = alive they age continuous life cycle, transcription => translation, virulence, *mutation all of those can be measured within sometime time frame that makes them almost biologically immortal, huh.

        Replying to @LauraDeming

        Virions are 'seeds', a virus is alive only after it develops the replication complex inside the host cell, and dies after exhausting the cellular resources. So the rapidly deteriorating biological state of the host cell is the best metric of an individual virus's age

        If they are mutating to select poorly for virulence & transmission, then they are aging to eventually die. If they are mutating in a way that balances virulence & transmission, such that they can always find a host, then they are mutating to be immortal.
