microbiology question 

@amiloradovsky@functional.cafe What is "life"?

We humans have this notion of "life", but in reality, what we consider to be "alive" is just a hyper-complex highly adaptive system capable of reproduction.

The outer shell of the Wuhan Virus can be disassociated and thusly rendered inert. It is that shell that latches on to some of our cells, as a molecular "key", that introduces its payload, and hijacks the cell through that RNA to make more copies of itself.

Let's not get into a discussion of reverse transcriptase, etc. right now.

Let's just destroy this motherfucker with powerful drugs, vaccines, whatever it takes.
