Virus and bacteria are very different things. Viruses aren't even really alive! A virus is basically just a piece of (nasty) DNA wrapped in protein shell. They can't replicate without YOUR cells. They dig into a cell and highjack it, convincing it to make copies of virus with your own cell material.  

That makes them super hard to kill. 

This episode dives into the biology of virus, how they work and what we need to fight them off.

I talk about how the immune system is essential in fighting viruses and the ways we can help boost it.
