    $\begingroup$ Isn't using a self-replicating vector like a virus pretty much the definition of 'proliferating'? ;D $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 23, 2016 at 9:47

    $\begingroup$ @JoeBloggs The proliferation in the answer refers to nuclear proliferation. The common term used to describe the spread of nuclear weapons to nations that previously didn't possess them. The more nations with nuclear weapons the more unstable geopolitics becomes & nuclear war becomes more probable. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 23, 2016 at 11:26

    $\begingroup$ @a4android The comment was meant in a light hearted vein. What can I say. I'm a punny kind of guy. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 23, 2016 at 13:41
  • $\begingroup$ @JoeBloggs I'm all in favour of the light hearted. I'm a pun person too. It did cross my mind that it was a reference to virus proliferation, hence a joke, but I went the literal minded boofhead route. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 24, 2016 at 0:42
