    Amazing to see how small these virus things are, while these images don't have coronavirus, you can imagine just how small it is.

    There are 1000 micrometers to 1mm.

    Human hair around 60 micrometers.

    There are 1000 nanometers to 1 micrometers.

    1 unit of coronavirus is super tiny. Amazing how life at this tiny scale keeps going, surviving, doing it's best to reproduce and move forward.

    Definitely need a good quality mask to avoid inhaling that thing.

    • Sure. I was just using comparison to that because it’s so similar in general and it is also a Coronavirus like most bad colds out there. :)monospaced
