What do you call that a virus invades?
A virus which invades a cell can be said to be virulent. One that causes the host cell to immediately produce virus' particles and lose it's ability to live is said to be a lytic virus. A virus that remains "silent" for awhile is called a lysogenic virus.
Should you get a flu shot when you have bell's palsy?
It won't hurt; the flu vaccine is non-virulent and won't lower your immune system while it makes antibodies to the influenza virus. It will still be able to fight off the Bell's Palsy virus (herpes).

Does the Norwalk virus have a Lytic or Lysogenic cycle?
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent as many lytic viruses are. Most bacteriophages are lysogenic. See link below:
What is the difference between pestilence and Swine Flu?
Pestilence is presence of an infectious epidemic that is very virulent, devastating, and usually fatal. Although it is spreading quickly and is now at pandemic proportions, so far Swine Flu (A-H1N1/09 Virus) is a mild influenza with low mortality rates. Since viruses mutate quickly, there is still the risk that will happen and the virus will change into a more virulent form.
