Air date: May 25, 2020

What are viruses? How big are they and how do they infect us and cause disease? What are the characteristics of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus? What has humanity's long battle with viruses taught us? We answer these questions as we look into the mechanism of infection, the characteristics of the new coronavirus and the history of infectious diseases. They provide us with a new perspective on the pandemic and the relationship between viruses and humanity.
