If it doesn’t get vaccinated??
No; covid cannot contract covid.
Viruses are usually regarded as not life in a strict sense. Life is most commonly considered to require cells, and viruses do not have cells. However, in a broader sense they can be considered living things since they have genetic material, replicate themselves and evolve by natural selection.
If an organism has covid then the virus is using the organism's cells to produce copies of itself. Since the covid virus is not made of cells, it cannot have covid.
ah, thanks : )
Every living organisms have atleast one cell and atoms which help them obtain what ever form they turn into and they can transform to fulfill their purpose.
I know it’s been answered already but i’m a science nerd sooo....
Viruses are basically just strings of DNA wrapped in protein. They aren’t living things, they’re more like tiny robots. They don’t technically have the machinery to grow, metabolize, or reproduce (which is the definition of life). Viruses hijack cells to do those processes.
Just like @CuddleDuncan said, viruses can’t catch other viruses. It wouldn’t help them since the other virus isn’t alive either.
removed my noise.
Covid viruses lack the molecular machinery. Wikipedia has a really interesting entry for Molecular Machinery. It's interesting to me that cells from many different creatures have similar machinery, which suggests a common origin. Viruses coopt this machinery to make copies of their RNA, and also the envelop, and these copies erupt out of the cell like Alien into the host organism. Looking at cellular activity at that scale would seem like observing alien creatures.
