Most people/ scientist do not consider then living things.
It all started when a scientist named Timothy Robotham in England was doing some investigatory work with kinds of bacteria that were growing in a hospital. He went to the cooling tower to get some samples of the bacteria Bradford coccus virus He tried to give this bacteria (Bradford coccus virus) things to make it grow, but wasn’t working, after his lab got shut down he just decided to give it to one of his colleagues. He gave it to a scientist named Bernard Scola. He eventually gets to looking at the bacteria, he realized that this thing wasn’t the size of bacteria, but it looked more like a virus, based on its appearance and what is was made of. It was a very large virus. Ordinary viruses have about 10 genes, while the newly discovered virus (the meme virus) had over 1018 genes. For example, one of the things this virus was able to do was to go inside one of its hosts (an ameba) instead of shedding its protein coat it would, go in and stays in its original form “virus factory” It doesn’t need to go inside the nucleus of the cell it’s already
