- Explore the three main ways viruses can be driven to extinction, and dig into the possibility of COVID-19 dying out.
--
Viruses are wildly successful organisms. There are about 100 million times as many virus particles on Earth as there are stars in the observable universe. Even so, viruses can and do go extinct. So, what is the possibility of the virus that causes COVID-19 going extinct? Explore the three main ways viruses can be driven to extinction.

I love how the second option was simply destroying our entire population and the third was something we should have expected to hear.
First option was not destroying population; rather, it was limiting the number of hosts for the virus. While population destruction is one way to limit hosts, other ways includes lock downs, social distancing, masking, etc. Limiting availability limits hosts.
hello friends
I feel a bit strange to think that the first option is the one that will happen instead of the second one.

Virus is not an organism
It's so weird how dates like April 2021 and early 2020 are referred to in historical terms. It reminds me that all of us alive right now have lived through a defining moment of human history.
I know right, who would of imagined that 2020 would turn out to being a defining moment in human history, like the Spanish Flu, WW2 etc.
Man had you released this video 2 years ago, we could've saved so much time
Not really
Ted-Ed can make even VIRUSES look cute. It's something about this art style.
Rip Alpha.💀
Their animation is top notch.
So cute I wanna catch 'em all.
I have no sympathy, even though pension saving institutes had a great relief.
To Alpha, there's the lesson "There's always someone better".
Beta's now an Alpha 💀
As someone who lost a family member to covid on duty Ted ed these videos helps me cope in some way from the crisis I am in
May his soul rest in peace..
Sorry to hear about your loss

Informative content and with cute animation. Exactly what I love to see!
"Viruses are widely successful organisms." That can be argued to have never been alive in the first place.
Maybe that's why they're more successful😂
I was confused that Ted ed made a scientific error here
@@duckymomo7935 not necessarily it's just virus ride the line between alive and dead. My comment was said more as a funny joke poking fun at the fact. Plus I simple said they can be argued to not be alive. Not that everyone knows they are not. Still an area of much debate.
Many scientists think that viruses are not living organisms because they cannot reproduce by themselves, and instead require the cells of another species to reproduce. But I think that they do this simply because they don’t need to evolve that ability, and they should be considered living organisms.
Also, those rules were just made in the first place by observing traits that all “living” organisms had in common.
Simple answer no, cause we have to all work together to do it.(not that it can’t be done, but it needs to be done together)
Even if we did we would fail as seen by China
What I love about Ted Ed is that it educates us in a fun way. I'd much rather learn from Ted Ed than school
You are not getting educated by Ted Ed. Education can only come through books not videos
How about both. Neither one can teach you everything you need to know.
*Even the virus looks cute. The animations & their animator's are top notch*
👏👏👏 simple , informative and engaging
1. Reduction of hosts (run out of hosts)
2. Effective vaccine
3. Competition among virus (eg delta variants outcompete alpha variants)
Apparently herd immunity never entered the thought of any of these people. It's either government solve the problem or the virus decides to show mercy to humans of its own according. Humans have immune systems for a reason and only the old and health risky people get killed
The animation is just awesome!! 🤩
I love the sound design on these videos. So comfy cozy 😊

Nice work!
Everything I already knew, but put in a way I was unable to explain. Thanks for the brilliant animation.
Thank you!
Happy New year!
I remember when my cousin found a way to destroy Covid. “Exploding the Earth and then living on the Moon.”
@Mena Mnmn sorry, I don’t trust links. So please, don’t send me links

Beware of stowaways or you may have to then explode the moon and move to Mars ...
Nature's neat solution is for the host to domesticate Covid or be recycled.
animation is greattt !!!
The loop goes on and on
Brilliant as always ! 👏
It is unbelievable that content with such brilliant animations and commentaries is available for free. I regret watching netflix for so long after I discovered these Videos on UA-cam.
If you had to watch ads before the video, so you were the product, not the video! But I agree that it's amazing to be able to watch these for free!
UA-cam is amazing
Netflix is way better.
Netflix has documents too.

The vaccines provides excellent protection, not what the cdc just disclosed recently. Where did you get that information?
Depending on how old we are, the virus may have stolen some of the most productive years of our lives...
It's a reccuring pandamic
Woah. Thats insane.
Amazing
COVID is not lethal enough to ever go extinction. It will always be with us.

The fact that people still don’t understand that it’s not going away is beyond me.

What this and other outbreaks have shown me is the world is very connected, not everyone is as careful as I would like them to be. The best that I can expect out of such situations is to take precautions for myself. Even now as many people who have stop wearing a mask, I continue to wear one in public indoor places , and I try to avoid crowded spaces.
Well done!
Hi ted ed
Awesome video.
animation is splendid
Thanks.
Super👌
Fun animations, love'hem
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄
Covid has been the worst experience of the past few years I hope it's gone soon!
i remembered how i was so confused w/ the variants, like what was delta v2 or smth? this vid kinda helped :)
Bacteria as an example replicate via "binary fission". So a bacteria splits itself to create what is a clone. Viruses however are unable to replicate themselves directly. They rather require "hosts" to infect and then use the host to generate copies of themselves - making them "parasitical".
So this means that whenever a virus infects a cell in someone to cause that cell to make copies of itself = the genetics of the person plays a role. If the person/cell is somehow "different" compared to others then copies of the virus generated might reflect those differences. It will still be a virus on par to the original - BUT - it may contain some "morphological variance". When enough variance occurs in the outer "shell" of the virus - which is what antibodies are generated to match up to = new strains are formed.
Moral of the story: if there is "some" alteration in the internal makeup of the virus then a new "genotype" is formed. Yet because the antibodies only react to the shape of the virus' exterior shell they still work against it. If however enough mutation occurs on that outer shell then antibodies will no longer matchup as they once did. When that happens = a "new strain" is considered to have formed - aka a new "serotype". 🤨
best animation!
First option made me laugh. 😂😂
From what I know (may be wrong), if you have two of them, you might end up with something third, and it's one of the reasons why it's super hard to get rid of completely.
Neat
I don't know why i feel so tongue-tied
The title of this video sticks out so much and i like it
Hey, it's George Zaidan! I knew that voice sounds familiar!
Any other Radiohead fans out there perk up when the rabbit virus part started?
Dub this video in most convenient languages(e.g. Hindi). It will spread the correct awareness rather than rumours from news channels.
thank god
Is there any chance by which coinfection of both strains possible
Yes, and we even have hybrids. Remember you get infected with an evolving population of the virus, where mutations occur each cycle. Their genome is more a psuedogenome of the most common genome infecting you. Some may even rely on infecting the same cell getting a functional copy of a gene from each other.
Some viruses don't produce every thing they need to reproduce, requiring a second virus to infect the host cell.
Why am i so obsessed with your channel now even though i didin't care about your channel when i was 3 and im 7
Second method sounds good and effective!
Apparently you forgot that natural immunity exists too.
nice
What would happen if the entire world were to truly isolate every year for same two weeks? The end result would be a number of preventable deaths going untreated sure, but all known covid strands and flu strands would seemingly be eliminated no?
I agree with this theory and something I think should be talked about more. It would be a logistical nightmare to take into account how we will feed people when no one is working though.
You would think, but people who are immunocompromised would end up serving as safe havens for illnesses. Once the isolation period ends, the viruses would return from them.
Didn't you see the video explain non-human reservoirs?
@@dangerfly that’s true.
No. The video points out that many viruses, including SARS-COVID have non human hosts which serve as a reservoir. In addition, a strict isolation is quite literally impossible. We need essential services like groceries, medical care, and so forth, so not everyone has the luxury of isolating. And of course, there are many who have and will continue to fight any seeming attacks on their freedom. So no, it wouldn't work.
What a right time to post this video!!!
Ah yes, the bane of any successful living organism: self-competition
👍
Am I missing something? Why do all of the things with elbows have areolas?
I prefer the first scenario
Make more riddles
Testing and quarantine
Very interesting
Im sorry but it seems down now. No one speaks about covis since war
Covid has become = "endemic". This means it is now constantly out there causing periodic outbreaks in places. As such it is not being tracked as it once was since vaccines are widely available and people can still self-test themselves - you can purchase the kits OTC - making tracking new infections difficult.
So based upon what is seen "herd immunity" has made its impact. Case numbers are far less than what they once were because so many vaccinated. If that changes then the government will probably once again reemphasize mitigation measures. For now we simply have "to live with it" much as we do for say Influenza. 🤨
watching this while im having covid
The problem being our immume system has evolved to deal with a range of infections, many of which help keep it incheck and somewhat suppressed. What does it react to when it's primary targets are gone?
im not sure i understand your question, which primary targets are gone?
@@agustinfranco0 I think he's talking about allergies. Your immune system is designed to fight off pathogens constantly. If there's a lack of said pathogens, it might malfunction and start attacking body cells.
Why aren’t the animators or artists in the credits?
It went away - we stopped caring.
I think it's pretty crazy that, judging from what's happening in China right now, current vaccines are still required to keep COVID at bay.
Otherwise the same dance happens, too many people get sick all at the same time, leading to overwhelmed medical systems.
Without another, milder mutation, COVID will lead to lower life expectancy.
" current vaccines are still required to keep COVID at bay. "
Current vaccines aren't keeping covid at bay anywhere else. US and Europe have been steeped in covid for all of 2022; we just don't test and report as much. But death rates and wasterwater sampling shows the reality.
poor rabbit:(
I've frozen some samples and will let them out when people forget
Atleast that we know of covid 19 is not devestating enough in the average person that humanity wit be likely to feel the need to invest alot of resources into eradication the way we did with small pox and Polio. So it could be erdaicated but it is pretty unlikelly to be that much of a piority.
yeah, just a vaccine a year or so is probably enough until some extremely new technology ( i mean like super sci fi) makes erradicating any virus a trivial thing.
No, your logic is non-existent.
I still haven't gotten covid
First 2mins and I am confused. In the simulation of the isolated city, are you assuming that once someone gets delta they will not also get alpha for alpha to become extinct? Because that contradicts the first sentence that the population is susceptible to both which means alpha may spread slower than delta but does not become extinct..
It will never end. Right?
Mask wearing in hospitals, busses planes or any indoor place will go (if it hasn't already) , as will the idea of isolating because you have COVID. All that will, or already has ended. The virus itself will be here for millions of years and may very well outlive humans
cool

yo thats crazy, shoutout to your country in april 2021
I wore a mask gloves & social distanced and I still caught “omicron” moral of the Ted Ed story. “Viruses mutate”
You know firefighters wear nomex clothing to protect themselves. Even then if caught in a conflagration = they can still burn to death. So with enough exposure even vaccinated people + people who take precautions can still acquire the infectious disease in question. Key word: _"exposure."_
Moral of the story: vaccination helps reduce morbidity -------> which reduces local incidence -------> which reduces your chances of being exposed = which determines if you get infected or not.
So people who live in areas where you have lots of unvaccinated and hence incidence is high are correspondingly at a greater risk to subsequently become infected at some point compared to ones who live where vaccination rates are high and local incidence is much lower. It may not be rocket science = but it is still science. 🤔

Now, try rereading my original post again.
You should get it now. 🤣
@@lordgarion514 I do get it, and that was very clever of you. You are very good at thinking creatively.
However, just to be clear, I've intended my comment to be filled with replies like "same omg", "me", or "fr", where people are just somewhat sarcastically sharing their own side of things-because that's how the best UA-cam comments carry along. Instead, you've taken it very literally, and you've believed that I have trouble making friends, when in reality I have no problem, and I've already made a handful of friends on my first gardening event.
TLDS: we don't know, we will find out
Pokemon gotta catch em all
I’ve gotten both COVID types out of 3 time I got COVID. I’m still not sure if my immune system is super good against COVID now, or my immune system just sucks
First is if you are repeatedly catching an infectious disease = clearly you are not taking proper precautions. After all you can not be infected without first = being exposed. With that said. Immunological reaction is complicated and involves lots of variables. Most infections will not yield the fabled "lifetime immunity". In actuality any antibody generation following an infection is typically transitory with how long it lasts depending upon things like the severity of the illness + the "immunogenicity" of the organism + and if it has mutated in the interim.
The last part is important. If you are exposed to an "older variant" of a virus which has since mutated to make it sufficiently different that antibodies generated against the earlier version do not match up as well + or it has become far more infectious such that it can generate exponentially more copies of itself inside you = your previous immunity may not hold up. This is why booster shots are required to stimulate even more antibodies in you and why vaccines are sometimes reformulated to try to keep up with any mutative changes in the organisms. So lots of reasons I'm afraid. The best defense is try not to be exposed where possible. 🤔
Jokes on the virus, I'm an isolationist, I don't interact with people.
Before I watched the video, I just knew that total destruction of humanity would be mentioned. 🤭
Im watching this while having covid lol (i double vaccinated )
