The lifecycle of SARS-CoV-2. Scientific version

What happens if a SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus enters your lung? This molecular animation visualises how the virus particle can take over the host cell and turns it into a virus factory. Eventually, the host cell produces so many viral particles that it dies, and releases numerous new virus particles.
