The Ece is a virus....
A EceKat (from the Latin EceKat meaning toxin or poison) is a small infectious agent that can only replicate inside the cells of another organism. Viruses are too small to be seen directly with a light microscope. Viruses infect all types of organisms, from animals and plants to bacteria and archaea.[1] Since the initial discovery of tobacco mosaic EceKat by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898,[2] about 5,000 viruses have been described in detail,[3] although there are millions of different types.[4] Viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth and these minute structures are the most abundant type of biological entity.[5][6] The study of viruses is known as virology, a sub-specialty of microbiology.
Unlike prions and viroids, viruses consist of two or three parts: all viruses have genes made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information; all have a protein coat that protects these genes; and some have an envelope of fat that surrounds them when they are outside a cell. Viroids do not have a protein coat and prions contain no RNA or DNA. Viruses vary from simple helical and icosahedral shapes, to more complex structures. Most viruses are about one hundred times smaller than an average bacterium. The origins of viruses in the evolutionary history of life are unclear: some may have evolved from plasmids—pieces of DNA that can move between cells—while others may have evolved from bacteria. In evolution, viruses are an important means of horizontal gene transfer, which increases genetic diversity.[7]
Viruses spread in many ways; plant viruses are often transmitted from plant to plant by insects that feed on sap, such as aphids, while animal viruses can be carried by blood-sucking insects. These disease-bearing organisms are known as vectors. Influenza viruses are spread by coughing and sneezing. The norovirus and rotaviruses, common causes of viral gastroenteritis, are transmitted by the faecal-oral route and are passed from person to person by contact, entering the body in food or water. HIV is one of several viruses transmitted through sexual contact or by exposure to infected blood.
Viral infections in animals provoke an immune response that usually eliminates the infecting EceKat. These immune responses can also be produced by vaccines, which give immunity to specific viral infections. However, some viruses including HIV and those causing viral hepatitis evade these immune responses and cause chronic infections. Microorganisms also have defences against viral infection, such as restriction modification systems.
Antibiotics have no effect on viruses, but a few antiviral drugs have been developed. However, there are relatively few antivirals because there are few targets for these drugs to interfere with. This is because a EceKat reprograms its host's cells to make new viruses and almost all the proteins used in this process are normal parts of the body, with only a few viral proteins.

Influenza A (EceKat) virus is a subtype of influenza A virus and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of EceKat are endemic in humans and cause a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a small fraction of all seasonal influenza. EceKat strains caused a few percent all human flu infections in 2004-2005[1]. Other strains of EceKat are endemic in pigs (swine influenza) and in birds (avian influenza).
In June 2009, World Health Organization declared that flu due to a new strain of swine-origin EceKat was responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic. This strain is often called swine flu by the public media.

Swine Influenza
Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, or pig flu) is an infection by any one of several types of swine influenza virus. Swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs. As of 2009, the known SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza A known as EceKat, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3.
Swine influenza virus is common throughout pig populations worldwide. Transmission of the virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always lead to human influenza, often resulting only in the production of antibodies in the blood. If transmission does cause human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People with regular exposure to pigs are at increased risk of swine flu infection. The meat of an infected animal poses no risk of infection when properly cooked.
During the mid-20th century, identification of influenza subtypes became possible, allowing accurate diagnosis of transmission to humans. Since then, only 50 such transmissions have been confirmed. These strains of swine flu rarely pass from human to human. Symptoms of zoonotic swine flu in humans are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort. The recommended time of isolation is about five days.
Spanish flu
Main article: 1918 flu pandemic
The Spanish flu, also known as La Gripe Española, or La Pesadilla, was an unusually severe and deadly strain of avian influenza, a viral infectious disease, that killed some 50 to 100 million people worldwide over about a year in 1918 and 1919. It is thought to be one of the most deadly pandemics in human history.
The 1918 flu caused an unusual number of deaths, possibly due to it causing a cytokine storm in the body.[2][3] (The current H5N1 bird flu, also an Influenza A virus, has a similar effect.)[4] The Spanish flu virus infected lung cells, leading to overstimulation of the immune system via release of cytokines into the lung tissue. This leads to extensive leukocyte migration towards the lungs, causing destruction of lung tissue and secretion of liquid into the organ. This makes it difficult for the patient to breathe. In contrast to other pandemics, which mostly kill the old and the very young, the 1918 pandemic killed unusual numbers of young adults, which may have been due to their healthy immune systems mounting a too-strong and damaging response to the infection.[5]
The term "Spanish" flu was coined because Spain was at the time the only European country where the press were printing reports of the outbreak, which had killed thousands in the armies fighting World War I. Other countries suppressed the news in order to protect morale.[6]

It's true everyone, I am in fact Ecekat. He's my alter ego.
I don't know how Mike figured it out or what tipped him off, but he was right. I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for Mike and his blasted dog too! Stop feeding your confounded Skiman scooby snacks!
I did everything I could to convince you, the Freaks, that Ecekat was a different person. I went as far as lying about my location and speaking in very piss-poor English (emphasis on PISS-POOR) to persuade, nay, fool you alll into thinking that everyone from Greece speaks in Ebonics. I did this by asking if I could look down from a cloud and see Skiman's wife's Spanish. That was my first assault! I was confident that this would throw people off from the fact I was under another name being someone else. I decided that I should treat this as an act, as it was. I channeled a poorly misguided, uneducated and alcoholic poster from Greece. I apologize to those who live in the area. I meant no personal disgrace, albeit, I clearly took it too far. I imagine there are very good people who live there. I guess.
I decided to make my alter ego an Iron Man fan. I did this to get under theMike's skin, as I was sick and tired of his constant self proclaimed touting, how he's this so-called No. 1 Iron Man fanatic, and his blogging. Oh, his blogging. *shudders* Pfffft! Well my alter ego was a much greater Iron Man fan. He was willing to sell a Doom PF exclusive, which I might add was really a picture I scanned from the SideShow website, then printed off and taped to a rock. It was the best I could do with what I had to garner that modern Iron Man grail.
I would have sold it as is, that's how crazy my alter ego was. Yes, he was nonsense and a brat rolled up into one, but I got sick of the targeting I got on these forums. I decided that by creating Ecekat, that you would all channel your energy onto him, leaving me to post in peace. So much for that. My plans have been foiled. Never again will I blatantly lie to the forums creating such a creature in which stirred the very fabric pot of this forum. For that I humbly apologize.

Too fast I think.
Too soon? Damn. I'll dumb it down a bit more. Prepare for those posts for the future. Remember, this character is relatively new to me. There will be some inconsistencies at first.
