Scientists are working intensely to understand SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the COVID-19 pandemic. Many questions still remain. How exactly does it infect humans and spread between us? Who is most at risk? Can we develop a vaccine and drugs to defend ourselves? Where should we focus our resources? This short video looks at how physics and physics-based technologies can play a role in tackling these questions. Find out more: http://ow.ly/W2Lt50yZQAR
