Coronavirus and problems with that thing

Coronavirus and problems with that thing

Coronaviruses like every other virus are problematic because they can maintain their infection capacity for a long time into the natural environment. If the virus is protected from radiological and chemical stress their genomes can keep it's infection capacity even thousands of years. Complicated protein structure is protecting the genome of the virus, and because of viruses have not metabolism there is almost impossible to destroy them in nature.

So when we are talking about "living viruses" we are meaning viruses, which can transform its genomes to the new cells. Normally viruses are the only package of protein, where is DNA or RNA inside them. And because viruses have not metabolism, that thing makes them hard to destroy.

Are corona- and HIV-viruses transformed bacteriophages? 

Some viruses are so-called bacteriophages, and sometimes researchers have suspected that HIV-virus is transformed bacteriophage. The complicated protein core, which has two layers is giving tip that the origin of those viruses is in bacteriophages. The term bacteriophage means viruses, which are mainly destroying bacteria.

Those viruses are deadliest organisms in the world, and there is a possibility, that some of them are mutated, that way, that they can infect also immune cells. In some scenarios, the bacteriophages have introduced as the method, which can be used to remove dangerous bacteria and bacillus from some areas.

Does it matter has the virus got RNA or DNA in the genome? 

The way how the virus infects a cell is a little bit different if the genetic material is in the DNA or RNA form. The DNA molecule must go to the nucleus of the cell, and then it would connect to the DNA of the cell. The RNA molecule can go either the nucleus, but it can also go to the cell organ, which means that it can take a single cell organ under the control. And start the creation of the new viruses without infecting entire genomes of the cell.

And what is the difference between RNA and DNA? RNA is a split form of the DNA, and that molecule is the thing, that cell uses to control its organs. The mission of the RNA is to transport the chemical programming code to the cell organs, and this is the reason, why RNA-based retroviruses are sometimes very dangerous. They can take the cell organ under control, and force it to produce the viruses, and in some cases, the viruses are leaving the cell peacefully. This means that one cell can release viruses a very long time before that thing can be noticed.

The thing, that causes problems with some viruses is that they can infect also immune cells. When macrophages would eat the HIV-virus, it would destroy the virus as usual. But the problem is that the RNA molecule of the virus is translated as the normal RNA, which comes from the nucleus of the cell. And this case the internal transportation system of cells would transport that molecule in the cell organ, which starts to produce copies of the virus.

If we are comparing bacteria and viruses, theoretically bacteria are easy to remove by using chlorine or ultraviolet, but viruses are more complicated because they need cells to make the next generation of viruses. But this is only one of the points of view of the epidemics. In every single case, all organisms must be removed from each layer, and if one single stone has forgotten to turn and give the radiation that can cause epidemics.
