When i have cold i just sit there and remember how i used to breath normally and how i took that for granted.
LoL same😂
Lmao!!! Hahaha
+Nadin Deldoum LOL me too! I'm like I just want to be normal again!
+blackwolf507 Aj You are so not the only one!
+Nadin Deldoum same condition here right now... :'(
The comments from 4 years ago had no idea what was coming.

"How did that guy feel when you ripped off half his face?"
"It was interesting because we did it while he was sleeping."
Perfect quote.
That joke killed me. lol
who's here for online school while in quarantine
Me.. xd
me too lmao
Me and on the top of that I'm french so on one hand I must explain how a virus spread but on the other hand to do that I'm must understand what's this guy's saying in the first place. ( T~T) well I don't have real difficulties in English but I know that lots of my classmates do and I think they're gonna drink so much of their own tears they'll end up peeing salt blocks. ( °-°)
I am!
meeeee
My cells needs to watch this video...
Vikram Chatterjee You are your cells...
***** Bleach works quite well, a few litres of that, and the self-defense things will multiply like crazy! /s
chrisshorenumber1 Lol no
Vikram Chatterjee Did you not see the /s?
***** Uh huh, /s means sarcasm.
I really find it fascinating how a little tiny blob can do so much to make a person miserable for a few days.
it's because we are a constitution of blobs too
true.
Ur totally missing the point 😡
Or.. kill 75 million people in a couple years, like the Spanish flu did
I guess it’s the body’s reaction which makes us feel terrible
This is so interesting to see, currently on my 5th day of having the flu and it's no joke. Coughing up mucus, had vertigo, fever for 3 days, nausea, vomiting, no appetite, fatigue (bed bound), ulcers in the throat and mouth. It just shows how amazing your body is at fighting infections, I hope I feel better in a couple days.
Dang... Sounds like we all got the exact same bug🤧🤒🤕. Was it followed by bronchitis? I think we might have been double hit. Hope you're feeling better
@@StompMom5 Yeah it did, I was coughing up mucus for a good week and then phlegm for another week, but I was wheezing whilst coughing when it was bad. I am feeling a lot better now, I hope you feel better soon!
@@GemziiGift I have a massive cough, semi blocked nose. And finally after 4 days, my nose is starting to feel better. Hope you're doing ok. Stay safe!
Me right now. I want to ask the
Little blob why? What did I do to piss it off
@@GemziiGiftwithout drugs?
The animation was amazing, and the simple explanation from the scientist was absolutely perfect. 10/10
Bottom line: Always change the locks on your cells.
but how ?!
@@RoyalThoughtsOnline it will change by the time your cells have defeated more virus.
@@RoyalThoughtsOnline by getting a vaccine lol
@@theterryshow1735 that’s not how a vaccine works
Fun fact: Sexual reproduction(not the act, merely using two gamete cells that produce a composite of 2 parents rather than just using a clone of a single parent) is in effect changing the lock on your child's cells, at least somewhat, to make the receptors on the outside of a cell just different enough to give your kid more of a fighting chance in staving off an infection from a virus.
This is the reason why populations that have low genetic diversity, whether it's fish in a pond or royals in an inbred family can be more susceptible to illness (but also other diseases caused by inbreeding aren't just linked to viruses being used to the "locks" on your cells, many of them are more about recessive alleles getting amped up so much that the negative effects caused by those alleles are expressed.)
Anyways, don't inbreed folks. The Habsburgs know the consequences.
I'm watching this with a cold .
+Ира Ротарь same
me three ...:(
I guess when some of us get sick we get so bored we look up how to get sick and what we are sick from lulzzz!
It could be aids, or it could be SUPER AIDS!
Me four D:
+Julie Price Me five - but at least I'm having a good laugh thanks to the commentary!
I’m guessing a good amount of people that are currently viewing this at the moment are going through a bad virus. I know I am and I hope you all feel better soon. My stomach hurts so bad I threw up, I keep coughing, I switch from being too hot to too cold, I feel fatigued, have rashes that keep spreading throughout my body, and on top of all of that I’m unable to sleep at night.
I have a cold, lol. After 4 days, my nose is finally getting better, lol.
Maybe the best explainer ever made about viruses. Should have won a Grammy.
Yes, Grammy pls
yellow knobby and purple stickupy things: Glycoproteins
welcoming structure: Vesicle
"secret recipe": Nucleic Acid
Copying machine: DNA or RNA Polymerase Enzymes
little peanut thingys: Ribosomes
thanks really needed this for my science Homework
wow how did you know I had he to do 😂
I love the kindergarten explanation...it's helpful...our microbiology is hella complicated...we take our immune response totally for granted 😀
life saver. idk why my teacher would as these question, when we never learned it
thank you soo much
Throat cell: WAAAIT A SEC. YOU HAVE THE KEY?!
Flu virus: damn right i do
Throat cell: Welcome!
*click*
Other cells: DUDE YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU JUST DID?!
Throat cell: Nope. :)
Cloudclaws AJ Actually it goes the other way!Throat cell: Ugh I feel weird... Guys??
Other cells; Yeah?
Throat cell: If that weird guy comes around with key N°567887GG3878JHH, just get rid of him all right?
Other cells: Roger.
Cells do communicate to slow down the infection by releasing messenger peptides. They inform the surrounding cells of the danger. When the virus will enter a nearby cell, the cell will produce RNA-destruction enzymes aimed at the virus' RNA. It will then be digested as soon as it's released from it's capsule.
Throat cell?
idk

Who is here because coronavirus 2020 feeling me.
Don't even raise that topic
That's sick virus than this normal flu
me hahaha
Me...
Hi
Checkin in.
wow this is incredible animation that really illustrates these concepts. excellent work!!! I wish there was one of these videos for everything in science. nothing is better at explaining science than this kind of video paired with explanation.
now everytime someone sneezes around me im going to think of this video in like super fast motion
😂😂😂
JaysonR0 That my friend. Is how germaphobes are formed. I am germaphobic and it was only after studying "germs" that I ended up as such
lmao im not gonna turn germaphobic, idc, i drink from a random water bottle. im debased. dont give a fuck King Wizard
JaysonR0 lol
Please, so what substance are the yellow little knobby things called Keys on the virus made of
War, war never changes.
fallout
GodlyGabe ncr and bos for life
War.... has changed
but your name
Nope never does.
Who’s hear after the Chinese coronavirus outbreak?
Reporting in
*cough* *cough*, just came here to see if I have any chance of survival.
I'm expecting a delivery from China this week, I think I'll first wash it in some hydrochloric acid and ethanol before I touch it with my bare hands. Also, I'll set the oven to 150°C and toss it in there, just to be on the safe side. 😂
xD me
Lol
i cancelled my order from China..not worth getting my stuff while risking my health
This video is amazing. I first watched it in sixth grade when we were learning about viruses. My classmates and I loved it, and we watched it more than once. I've never forgotten it. I'm now a sophomore in college 🙂 Just looked it up to review for my Biology test this week 🙂
i bet the majority of people watching this have an awful flu right now! i know i do :(
Yes you're right there Megan.
yea you're right
Herpes on my mouth :(
Megan King No I don’t so you are wrong.
Nah I have to study this. That's why I'm watching
How ironic , watching this while sick ... Smh .
same here... haha
Yea me too, I have the sniffles :(
Wavy Banks Same
I have the Stomach Flu
yea me to 😷😷
I really enjoyed watching this. Very humorous and educational. Thanks for making this easy to learn. Kudos!
I want Robert Krulwich to explain everything in my life
A girl sitting next to me in class NEVER covers her mouth when she coughs, NEVER covers her nose or mouth when she sneezes and she NEVER throws her used tissues in the bin! She touches them all the time! Now I got the flu from her... I wanna swear at her so bad :(
Brandon Rodriguez so frustrating
Achktung Swonsburger yep
Taylor hhhhhh
Taylor Just do the same thing to her.
Adrian FC82 that's... plain mean :P
If I had these kinds of videos when I went to school, I would've paid more attention.
Wooow! The level of animation!!! This is more detailed than any virus explanation video today!!!
I find it fascinating how your body fights off bacteria
This is so dumbed down, I can't even.
tyler98621 >Purple stickuppy thingies
lel
***** Yeah animation in this video is good
Nanoday.com
+tyler98621 Completely agree, as a microbiologist I found it painful to listen to this guys explanation. And the sound at the end with the wbc engulfing the virus, made me want to puke
+tyler98621 I imagine it was made to assist in helping laypeople understand, not educate a peer reviewed committee of scientists.
the sound effects were brilliant
I agree
Agreed.
Agreed.
This is just the best video on the internet which explains all the procedures so efficiently.
Sick yet again, and here I am again, watching this 😁
Thank God I came across DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on RUclips at the right time and I saw a lot of testimonies and how he has cured a lot of people from Hepatitis B virus then I contacted him for help and he actually cured me, he also has a cure for other form of STI
*me the entire time* where them white blood cells at!??
Ikr this is probably a weird ass immune system
LOL
Would have been a lot more helpful if he had actually used correct terminology....
+Lance David
It was dumbed down for Americans
+Allen Wu Right, made by Americans for the dumb Americans and yet the US has the best healthcare in the world?
NovaCode
Ever heard of a joke?
Allen Wu No what is that
+NovaCode
It’s this beautiful concept of a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline
I loved this video thank you so much, made learning entertaining and I just about lost it at “how do you think that guy felt when you cut off half his face?” or whatever🤣
Never knew that biology could be this interesting. I really appreciate how you put the sfx nicely 🤣
Anyone else in bed feeling terrible with a flu? 🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
I'm right now.
@@47babyblues poor u
No iam not afraid
I really thank those two guys for making this video less serious! Those typical documentary creeps me out...like a lot
Documentaries I meant
***** don't have kids just go fuck yourself rather than risk breeding
***** stating facts? Ok you are a danger to us all by not being vaccinated for example polio why isn't everyone vaccinated dropping dead? However I challenge you to find a healthy person with polio, but you find that a majority of those vaccinated are perfectly fine... You're a fucking abysmal fool for which there is no vaccine.
***** Are you really that fucking stupid
***** a lot of the diseases vaccinated against now existed in the middle ages and so on they didn't have the tech to do that then and it already existed so that's blatantly a lie
Who's here after being Home Quarantine?
Good job
I have the flu right now :( This video was very interesting to watch. It's good to have a more in-depth understanding of how we get sick and the way our bodies fight illness.
having the flu sucks
@Hunter Dwy lmao
I agree
Woah getting this in my recommended 10 years later!!
*millions, millions, millions*
Love those audio effects at the end, btw.
Anybody else have the flu?
me
Me
Me I got it from a co-worker
I do, I just wanna murder everybody
Sancho for 3 weeks even with anti biotics my body is crap at defending
who's having a flu now?
🙋Meh....
***** yeah im better now,thanks :)
Lim RuiQi I had the flu yesterday, I threw up 11 times ):
+LPS Rayne wow that's very bad flu you have😧
get well soon from your flu!!!!💖💖💖
Lim RuiQi aw tysm
+LPS Rayne no problem 😌😌😌
thank you for the beautiful slurping sound effect I definitely needed that today
Is there a version of this video where the audience is made up of people who want to know more about biology?
The only structure I heard in 2 minutes is 'nucleus' whilst other terms: the yellow noodly (RNA), the pink factory (ribosome) are mentioned.
It's great seeing it like that. It makes me realize how important it is to build up our immune system.
for all the people complaining about how dumbed down it is just click off the video. This video was helpful for me because of how dumbed downed it was seeing as i haven't taken biology yet.
This guy is one of my favorite radio show hosts, hands down.
Thanks for this amazing, humorous, educational & fascinating work of artful thinking.
The best animation on this subject I have ever seen. I wish all of the body's functions could be replicated like this. It is an effective mind expanding tool.
This helped me greatly in the preparation for a vocabulary quiz I have tomorrow. Thanks guys!
2:55 My favorite part, when the white blood cell slurps up the virus.
yes, thisis called your natural immumesystem. please lets keep it
I hardly let out a breath as the captivating narrative went on!. Good illustration
A trillion thanks for this video. It has greatly clarified my understanding of virus replication in the body. The animation was surreal and the pictures resemble what is in my biology text. Outstanding!
Thank you, this is just what i need for my science class tomorrow.
Watching this because of the situation right now and at home. Who's with me?
I have never experienced a similar level of internal despair when watching a video, as I do when listening to the narrator describe the structures and processes in such a child-like way while using adult-like graphics.
I love my body and its cells, it is beautiful to see how they protect us. :)
i'm fighting against common cold virus! proud of my wbc army!
That’s the spirit, well done harsha.
i'm having rhinovirus now...
QuardY music is
Careful your white blood cell army can attack you, too! Not all good. Autoimmune attacks
@I am nobody Tell people with COVID19 that viruses don't exist and aren't contagious ya weak ass troll. Go lick a hospital floor. 😂
how horrific, but what an excellent illustration
Thank you for this video 👍that animation was amazing
so this is why i feel like there is a alien in my nose
Awesome Animation David!!!!!! The reverse transcriptase enzymes and ribosomes looked so real.. And the internal body graphics was just so perfect!! good job!!
Loved the video and its commentry as well
Brilliant video and animation.
watching this detailed video without the correct terms is killing my brain cells
Who is here after the whole world lock down covid 19.
me
I hope we get thru this soon :( pls someone like my comments when all this Coronavirus nightmare ends , so I can come back and feel relief
@@yesiiii2389 inshallah i pray to Allah he keep u ur family n every one safe . Stay healthy.
Ausaf86 thank you 🙏🏽 I pray the same for you and your loved ones 💕
@@yesiiii2389 thanx dear.
where u from n wats the condition in ur country.
that was superb.!
can you do more pixar-like animation type science stuff like that?
Absolutely obsessed with the sound effects
Very cool animation that was well explained. I fucking hate viruses, but at least I understand them better now!
Nice animation.
No gimmicks.. I just find all of this very fascinating
Loved this video!
Mom... i'm on the medical side of youtube again...
*This is absolutely the best immune support product I have ever used. I first tried it when I was in Sri Lanka this winter. It has not failed me yet. Whenever I feel the early symptoms of an oncoming cold, I drink it as a hot or cold tea, three times a day, and I never get the cold. This has worked for me half a dozen times In the last three months. I highly recommend this!*
Effective immune system support >> hopeithelps.co/natural-cures-for-common-cold/
Very fascinating
I really like the metaphors that you used for receptor hahahah.
I don't know why but I am having goosebumps
And I thought Earth had war problems....
Excellent love documentary animation.
Very interesting Video. Please inform which Softwares/programs were used to prepare this Video.
Anyone came here in search Of CORONAVIRUS ?😂
kaiwalya /3 🤣🤣🤣 yes
Why all caps?
I am nobody I can’t understand!?And I can say ,,There is no “Ebola,Black Death,Cholera,HIV” stupid boy”
Who's here after corona virus outbreak??
😓
it's me
You
A perfect videos without technical terms.
Good explanation
Who else is watching this amid COVID-19?
Pro tip : DONT BREATHE
Too late, now we're getting corona.
I like the sound effects in this video, it's awesome. 😊
Thanks to this video, every time someone sneezes I now hold my breath. 😅
CLOSE YOUR EYES!!! A great port of entry
'welcoming committee' I can't stop laughing
This is insane. I learned so much who's watching this wen ill at same time
ruclips.net/video/yOeRekht-Ks/видео.html
@@fnyoutubechannel890 just stop. nobody wants to watch your videos. nobody likes it when you try stealing viewers from other videos and channels. its selfish.
Superb animation 👍👍
Nice explanation
I laughed my way through this video!!
I wish micro is actually this easy.
You have to start with the basics before you can move on to the specifics.
Can technology make it possible one day to torture flu virus ???
Yes im from the year 2019 and we found cas9(crispr)
the explanation is tooo good .. and creative... animation was also great thankyou
