The Coronavirus Explained & What You Should Do

In December 2019, a new virus began spreading, changing the world as we know it. But what actually happens when it infects a human, and why is it more than “just a flu”?

In this video, we dive deep into the biology of the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) to explain:

• How it invades your body: The process of virus replication inside your lung cells
  [01:21].
• The Immune Response: Why your own immune system can sometimes become more dangerous than the virus itself
  [02:14].
• The Danger of Pneumonia: How severe cases lead to critical lung failure
  [04:05].
• Fast vs. Slow Pandemic: Why “flattening the curve” is the only way to save our healthcare systems
  [05:40].

What can you do? We discuss the power of simple acts like handwashing with soap and the necessity of social distancing to act as a “social vaccine”
[06:31].

It’s in our hands—literally and figuratively. Watch to understand the science and how we can protect each other.
