Abstract
This poster will provide insight into the basic knowledge required to understand what viruses are and how they work. Viruses are microorganisms that can infect animals, plants, and bacterias that can make them sick. As for, SARS-COV-2, it is a variation of the SARS Virus that caused the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 may cause a fever, cough, loss of smell/taste, muscle aches/chills, sore throat, and shortened breath. Before diving deeper into the mechanisms that COVID-19 employs to infect humans, it is critical to have a basic understanding of a virus. Therefore, this will better inform the general public about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
