As others have said, any computer can get a virus. However, I disagree with the claim that Macs have better "antivirus blockers". That's nonsense. The reason why the Mac OS is better off than Windows in this area is because Microsoft is a much bigger target. That makes sense since a high majority of users out there have Windows. It's easier to defend against a few attacks here and there than to fend off hundreds of thousands.
Macs have since gone with Intel x86 CPU's, which are the same that run Windows. So, a lot is about to change for Apple, especially as it begins to see a larger market share...

Any computer can get a virus. It all depends on the level of skill that a person has to exploit the flaws within any given operating system or hardware along with their willingness to do so.

Any computer can get a virus. You heard about windows more because more people own windows systems.

Any computer can get viruses. Macs just have better virus blockers as a standard.
