Secret life of Viruses
by Mariona Tolosa Sisteré, Ellas Lideran collective
Description
A tiny creature invisible to the naked eye is causing one of the biggest global health crisis we have ever experienced. Coronavirus news are on our TVs, newspapers, social media and family video calls every day. We are quickly learning scientific concepts such as exponential growth or how to "flatten the curve" to protect the most vulnerable members of our society.
But what is a virus? where do they live? How many viruses are there? Are all viruses bad? How do we fight them?
To answer all these questions, we present The Secret Life of Viruses, a book for grownups and kids about the story of viruses everywehere. A book on how to learn to coexist with viruses without fear.
