Is the flu virus a live?


Question:


Answers:
a virus is not technically a living organism. rather, it is a set of genetically coded instructions surrounded by what they call a protein shell. a virus attacks a cell and injects the ''instructions'' into the nucleus of the cell. the nucleus then starts to follow those instructions--to create more viruses. eventually, the body fights back with antibodies from the lymph nodes, which is why yuo get sore while fighting off the flu. it also causes your temperature to rise because your immune system is now working overtime to combat the invading viruses.
Yeah, of course, the flu virus is a cell, and all cells are alive. Humans are made up of cells.
