In the womb, all babies grow mustaches...that they eat.
When a fetus is about four months into pregnancy it develops a mustache that, over the course of a month, spreads over its entire body. This hair is called lanugo and it all falls out before birth and is EATEN BY THE BABY. It then is digested and becomes part of its first poop called meconium.
Viruses are not alive: They do not have cells, they cannot turn food into energy, and without a host they are just inert packets of chemicals.
Debatable
Viruses are not exactly dead, either: They have genes, they reproduce, and they evolve through natural selection.
This has been debated since 1892
