** Probably but cells don't live too long (except for brain cells) so is more like the end of the world after many many generations. The more dramatic case will be the death of an infant causing a newley form world to expire too soon.

* Because of AesopAmnesia, in ''OzzyAndDrix'', Frank for some reason starts becoming unhealthy again, and both Ozzy and Drix are carried away by a mosquito to someone else...
** Considering Shane is absent and Ozzy talks about getting promoted out of "snot patrol"(when he should have something much higher after the events of the movie), it's possible this is an alternate universe.

** On that note, are ''all'' the potential Thraxes out there [[AlwaysChaoticEvil just as depraved and evil as he is?]] Are some of them {{Reluctant Psycho}}s who don't want to hurt anyone but know they have to in order to survive (since that's basically how viruses work)? Either way, it's not a pleasant thought...

** The pilot to ''WesternAnimation/OzzyAndDrix'' had them confronting another Red Death-like virus before getting carried off to Hector, so it's possible that Thrax may have already done it offscreen.

** There is another more grim explanation for Frank's declining health. Frank's internal temperature nearly reached 108 during the events of the film, which is deadly. However, if one's internal temperature reaches 104, which Frank's surpassed, that can result in permanent brain damage. This puts a dark contrast on the situation; Frank tried to get healthy but resulting brain damage from his brush with death meant he kept forgetting (from the anthropmorphised cell POV, the brain cell in charge of memory could've been killed and the records or information cataloguing system destroyed) to maintain his new healthy lifestyle or he just discarded the attempts.
