  • Christian Yates, Senior Lecturer in Mathematical Biology, University of Bath
  • Author of  The Maths of Life and Death
  • My wife suggested it would be the size of an Olympic swimming pool
  • this is an approximation based on the most reasonable assumptions
  • rough estimates for peak viral loads range from 1 billion to 100 billion virus particles. 
  • Take a value in the middle, 10 billion. 
  • add up all the contributions to the viral load of each of the 3 million people who became infected on each of the previous days (assuming this 3 million rate is roughly constant) 
  • then there are roughly two hundred quadrillion (2x10¹⁷ or two hundred million billion) virus particles in the world at any one time.
  • roughly the same as the number of grains of sand on the planet.
  • remember that SARS-CoV-2 particles are extremely smal
  • the diameter range from 80 to 120 nanometres
  • gives us a total volume of about 120 millilitres (ml)
  • He considers close sphere packing, spheres take 26% more space when filling a space
  • Even taking the upper end of the diameter estimate and accounting for the size of the spike proteins all the SARS-CoV-2 still wouldn’t fill a Coke can.
