Rob, bear with me while we look at the differences between the living and non-living matter.

Man is not a machine that behaves 100% predictably; he is spontaneous while at the same time follows species specific behaviors. Thus outliers (if you want to call "spontaneity" that) exist, unlike a thrown ball or a laser beam.

Not everybody gets sick from a microbe while others get very ill, and generally most get some symptoms. This depends on their constitution--and the Terrain Theory is correct here. There are ALSO other factors not considered by Terrain, but are pertinent.

I see what you're saying, but the tests are supposedly showing us the presence of a sub-microscopic entity known as a virus. Either it's there or it isn't, right? We can see this with other organisms.

Actually, I think it all does come down to terrain. There are indeed outliers in the degree and symptoms of which one gets sick and it has everything to do with the environment of the person's health and their surroundings.
