The virus infects a suitable host cell

The virus infects using the “key-lock principle”.

The virus receives the right key through mutations. If a virus manages to generate a new key by randomly changing its surface structure, it can infect new host cells. This means that a virus that previously only infected birds or bats can also infect humans.

How quickly do Viruses?

How does SARS-CoV-2 damage the human body?

The infected cells are destroyed and the Organ functions become restricted such as difficulty breathing, coughing, loss of smell.

Immune reaction

Inflammatory reaction

such as fever, weakness, etc.
