Hmmm, OK, so the virus can't be discovered, or identified, as being negative or 
positive, then my original question still stands.

Some input required, and keep it simple please, so non academics can understand 
it <g>. Opinion/s, idea/s, guess, supposition, theory, or is it just another 
case with so many things, it's down to an individual too form their own 
personal opinion, conclusion, or understanding and personal thought...Anyone?

I think that is a misinterpretation.  Gram positive and negative refer to 
bacteria, whether they can be stained or not and thus seen easily with a light 
microscope.  Viruses are too small to be seen with a microscope.  You cannot 
stain a virus, any virus, period.
