My apologies for being so.... common... in the presence of grandeur, but it is an unsettled biological argument whether a virus is alive or not. It completely depends on which, of the various accepted versions of the definition if 'alive', you consider to be accurate. You'll find this conundrum is a comfortably debated topic in any BIO 101 class.
Based on everything I have read, Ivermectin does not kill COVID. It does not do anything to the virus directly. What it does do is indirectly interfere with and prevent viral replication so the virus cannot make more virus particles while the immune system takes care of the ones that are already present.

From Wikiepedia, but thats all the effort Im going to expend on this; There is currently no consensus regarding the definition of life. One popular definition is that organisms are open systems that maintain homeostasis, are composed of cells, have a life cycle, undergo metabolism, can grow, adapt to their environment, respond to stimuli, reproduce and evolve. Other definitions sometimes include non-cellular life forms such as viruses and viroids.

Just say state 0 or state 1....don't bother arguing semantics
Big crystalline high five to you sir!
