      Not as such. We get infected with viruses all the time (cold, flu are viruses). They get in, replicate a bit, kil cells then our bodys immune system gets rid of the virus for us. Our plan is to get the viruses only into cancer cells (which are quite different from normal cells), let them replicate and kill as many cells as possible before the immune system gets rid of the virus.
