That just scratches the surface. Of the millions of different viral species identified so far,  only about 5,000  have been characterized in detail. Viruses come in many shapes and sizes -- although they're all small -- and infect everything, including plants and bacteria. None of them work in precisely the same way. With crucial assistance from Stanford virologist  Jan Carette , PhD, here's more information about some viruses worth knowing a bit about. Coronavirus , for example.
