Viruses

PS: I like luigi

Hey guy I'm back with another blog post and today we will be talking about the viruses. You might already know some stuff about viruses but now I am going to tell you what you don't know.







even Mario fights viruses
#Dr. Mario

First off a Virus is "an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host." Viruses can get inside your body and make you sick. A virus cannot move, is not alive, cant breath, cant eat and cant drink water. When a virus gets inside your body it can do two thing A: can find its host cell and start multiplying or B: it can stay there and do no harm which are called latent viruses. Some illnesses include chicken pox, the common cold and the flu.

 

 

Now that you know that viruses ain't that good but now I will tell you are one weapon. Vaccines are the reason we are able to survive the virus. Vaccines are made using week created viruses that will go into your body so you imunsistem can kill them and be ready for the real thing.






The last thing I will be talking about is a man named Dr. Edward Jenner's. This man saved peoples life's by making the vaccine which is still used today. When he said he found a cure the other doctors lafed at him, but when he proved he was correct he was loved by the other doctors.
