| 0:09.5 | had thought that this was self-limiting respiratory infection it goes away it really isn't that |
| 0:16.9 | that virulent but we now know that it can be pretty nasty so anyway the viruses replicate using something called a |
| 0:25.1 | nested set of MRNA's and that's characteristic of viruses the way they replicate |
| 0:31.1 | and I'll go into it on how they do it but it's called a |
| 0:33.4 | coronavirus because they get their name from their characteristic crown |
| 0:37.0 | appearance when they look at micrographs. Coronavirus has a really large |
| 0:42.2 | RNA genome and it's widespread in birds and bats. |
| 0:48.2 | So we start, we saw it start out in China and now Italy's counts are seemingly growing by the minute when you look at real-time data |

| 1:50.0 | Would the virus can persist at room temperature up to four days |
| 1:54.0 | paper at room temperature four to five days |
| 1:56.3 | glass at room temperature four days plastic at higher temperature can last five days but at room temperature it can go six to nine days so yes |
