Where Do New Viruses Come From? by Stated Clearly
Ask students:
- How do viruses differ from other microbes?
- Why do most viruses only infect one type of host organism?
- How do viruses evolve to infect new hosts?
- Could a virus come from a lab?
- Why is it called the coronavirus?
- How is the virus treated?
- What can you do to stay safe?
The video makes the virus about Science and less scary to students.
It's also a good way to start a conversation about basic hygiene like washing your hands, covering your mouth when you sneeze etc.
