I just had the flu & well, #coronavirus, so: a thread on viruses. They're AMAZING.

First? There’s a lot of ‘em. If you lined up all the 10^31 viruses on earth end to end, they’d stretch 100 million light years, enough to cross the Virgo supercluster of galaxies. Since the 1980s we've known the ocean had viruses, but only recently did we discover just how widespread they are. A single drop of seawater contains 10 million of them. There are 10 times as many viruses as the mostly microorganisms they infect.
