How A Virus Invades Your Body

When you get the flu, viruses turn your cells into tiny factories that help spread the disease. In this animation, NPR’s Robert Krulwich and medical animator David Bolinsky explain how a flu virus can trick a single cell into making a million more viruses.

Very nice video with stunning graphics to show how your body gets invaded with virus. Seemed appropriate information in this flu season.
