ACE2: How researchers think coronavirus attacks cells

During our last session on April 27, 2020 we viewed a video on the different RNA structures that are present in a normal healthy cell. That helped us understand how the corona virus is used in the cells it invades.

Coexistence between human beings and viruses

During the session on 4/6/20 we studied various types of viruses which co-exist with us in nature.
