Media section is wrong and hasn't been updated in quite a while. As of the current build viral only reduces total health to 50% on the first proc. Any viral procs after on the same target only make viral last longer until the target dies. So honestly, viral is a pretty useless proc outside of high level missions because enemies tend to melt away before even procing on most weapons. (It's better for the bonus damage it adds to health if anything) Of course by useless I only mean that other elements serve more use on lower levels
