-Explain what a virus is, what COVID19 is, what type of virus it is, what major known proteins are on its surface and how it enters a cell, what disease it causes after infection of a body, where it gains entry to the body (body systems affected), what is not known

-Explain vaccines and how the body responds to an actual infection and how it responds to vaccines. Explain the different types of vaccine strategies (ie-killed, attenuated, mRNA etc.) how they work on a basic level, pros and cons of each vaccine strategy

-Explain what viral mutations are, how they occur using evolution and adaptation as the basis, give examples of other viruses that have mutated- what happened when they mutated, explain how COVID19 is mutating, explain how scientists know COVID19 is mutating ( brief explanation of genome identification methods you learned in your labs) , what part of the virus is mutating and its implications for treatment/vaccines and the future. explain what should be done to limit viral mutations and further infection by the COVID19 virus.
