Owl is not the virus its the organisation dealing with the spread of infection. The virus is the early stages of SIVA the main threat in rise of iron. It looks good at first with the buffs it gives but its spreading like wild fire as an example of how dangerous SIVA is. I personally am trying my hardest not to catch it as there will most likely be a bonus in rise of iron for being one of the few guardians not infected.

Could be Rasputin spreading something that will prevent the guardians from being infected by Siva so that they can go deal with the problem.

So it seems bungie is rewarding players to not play now until Tuesday thus keeping 'clean' characters. Nice theory but surely they want people to play more. Would be easy to switch off now and come back Tuesday and get rewarded.

Yeah could be either way to be honest, I think its juat designed to show how quickly it can spread

think it also has to do with getting people to join more parties.... They want you to spread it and diversify it by joining many random groups.... keep people from only playing custom matches now... Just a guess of course.
