Rumor is that most images you see of viruses are just cross dissection images of bacteria. Most people don’t have an electron microscope or a laser microtome as the equipment costs millions of dollars. Viruses are usually benign and less pathogenic than bacteria. They are usually found as nano cysts in the environment. They don’t mature to other stages if they don’t find a suitable biome. Even within your body they may travel in circulation and not find their suitable biome and just die.
