SnoopJ: How effective is compressing virii in getting rid of them?
<SnoopJ>
hwhat
<SnoopJ>
I'd say viruses are already pretty compact anyway
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ hm
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ could you apply pressure on viruses that makes them smaller as a way of eradicating them?
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ possibly, if being smaller makes them adaptable and you're at liberty of changing the environmental conditions
<SnoopJ>
at the risk of making them excellent superconductors
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ lol
<SnoopJ>
In serio: having a hard time imagining that
<SnoopJ>
retrovirus capsids might be susceptible to that? idk how permeable they are but if the answer is "not very" perhaps they could be so disrupted
<SnoopJ>
(but I imagine it's more like "feels like I'm wearing nothing at all!" wrt their environment)
