GenPI.co – A research team in Hungary conducted a series of experiments in the laboratory to determine the ability to survive the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19. The results obtained by the research team were quite surprising.

The team poked the coronavirus with a fine needle to measure how much force it would take to make the virus pop like a balloon.

The research team pointed a fine needle from the top of the virus down. The virus broke apart, but then came back together after the fine needle was removed.

This method was repeated 100 times by the research team. However, as much as that virus particles come back together as before.

“This virus is very tough,” explained the research team Dr. Miklos Kellermayer from Semmelweis University in a paper uploaded to biorxiv.org, as quoted from SCMP, Sunday (20/9).

This virus continues to surprise scientists with its unique structure. In fact, researchers have found that this virus can heal itself.

“The mechanical and self-healing properties of this virus can guarantee adaptation (of the virus) to various environmental conditions,” added Kellermayer.
