I'm sure there are many vira, but that comparison can't be true.

That is a lot less than then number of viruses and article linked "An estimated 10 nonillion (10 to the 31st power) individual viruses exist on our planet—enough to assign one to every star in the universe 100 million times over."

So we can easily give one IPv6 address to any star in the observable universe _OR_ one IPv6 address to any virus on our planet, but we can't possibly address via IPv6 every single virus in every possible planet.

We should give all an ipv6 address

Cool: I can make a lot of money selling a vaccine for each one of those.

Seriously though, has anyone considered the big-O complexity of the "vaccine per virus" approach to improving immunity?

I assume its "named" viruses instead of just a number/designation.

Yeah maybe so, but how many of those 100 thousand millions stars have millions upon millions of their own viruses?

Pretty sure there aren’t any viruses that can survive on a star…
