Can anyone think of a virus that would cause someone to be tired all the time?!
Question: Short-term, any virus can cause someone to be tired all the time.
Long term, glandular fever (known as mononucleosis in the USA) as already suggested, or post-viral fatigue syndrome (CFS) if the tiredness is as a long-term result of a virus.
But people can also get tired all the time due to faulty nutrition, or low thyroid, or simply from not getting enough sleep.

What is anemia?
Anemia is a blood disorder that occurs when there is not enough hemoglobin in a person's blood. Hemoglobin is a substance in the red blood cells that makes it possible for the blood to transport oxygen through the body. When a person develops anemia, he or she is said to be "anemic."
There are a number of different types of anemia. Some types present only mild health problems, while others are much more severe. Each type of anemia results from one of these factors:
The body cannot make enough hemoglobin
The body makes hemoglobin, but the hemoglobin doesn't work right
The body does not make enough red blood cells
The body breaks down red blood cells too fast
What are the symptoms of anemia?
There a number of symptoms that are common to all types of anemia. They are:
Feeling tired
Difficulty breathing
Dizziness
Headache
Feeling cold
What causes anemia?
A lack of iron in the body is the most common cause of anemia. This type of anemia is called iron-deficiency anemia. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin. Without the needed amount of iron, your body cannot make hemoglobin. Factors that can decrease your body's stores of iron include:
Blood loss (caused within the body by ulcers, some cancers, and other conditions; and, in women, during monthly periods)
An iron-poor diet
An increase in the body's need for iron (in women, during pregnancy)
