While the origin of the brand-new Coronavirus is not yet understood, we do understand where brand-new infections typically originate from. Tip: Darwin’s theory of advancement has plenty of hints!
In this animation you will get a refresher course in virology. You’ll discover how infections vary from other microorganisms, why most infections can just contaminate one kind of host organism, and how infections progress to contaminate brand-new hosts.
