Viruses are nothing more than a piece of DNA or RNA with instructions wrapped in proteins, incapable of reproducing because they do not have the organelles necessary for it, so it needs a host cell to "hack" its reproduction mechanism. It's like a brother in law who has a DVD and doesn't have a DVD player so he's looking for someone to let him play it.
Los virus no son más que un pedazo de ADN o ARN con instrucciones envuelto en proteínas, incapaz de reproducirse por no tener los orgánulos necesarios para ello por lo que necesita una célula huésped a la que "piratear" su mecanismo de reproducción. Es como un cuñado gorrón que tiene un DVD y no tiene lector por lo que anda buscando quién le deje reproducirlo.
Once the virus injects its genetic material into the host cell, it goes to the nucleus and changes the instructions of the genetic material of the cell, so that it is dedicated to making replicas of the virus instead of replicating itself.
Una vez que el virus inyecta su material genético en la célula huésped este se dirige al núcleo y cambia las instrucciones del material genético de la célula, para que este se dedique a fabricar réplicas del virus en lugar de replicarse a sí misma.
By the time the virus has already made enough copies of itself, these newly created viruses by the host cell leave the cell membrane and flock out to contaminate other cells in the body.
En el momenteo en que el virus ya ha realizado suficientes copias de si mismo estos virus recién creados por la célula huésped abandonan de membrana celular y salen en tropel a contaminar a otras células del cuerpo.

Scientists seem to know the mechanism by which certain viruses attack the host cell and how it modifies its genetic material to make copies of itself, but they still did not know how viruses managed to leave the cell and continue infecting.
Según parece los científicos conocen el mecanismo por el cual ciertos virus atacan a la célula huésped y como modifica el material genético de ésta para hacer copias de si mismo pero aún desconocían como se las arreglaban los virus para abandonar la célula y seguir infectando.
My compatriot Montse Bárcena and her team of scientists from the University of Leiden in the Netherlands have managed to find the "door" through which the genetic material of replicated viruses leaves the cell to infect other cells of the body.
Mi compatriota Montse Bárcena y su equipo de científicos de la Universidad de Leiden en Holanda, han conseguido encontrar la "puerta" por la que el material genético de los virus replicados abandonan la célula para infectar otras células del organismo.
This mechanism has been discovered in "coronavirus" type viruses, of which we are all experts now but, although they have discovered it now, they have already been studying the mechanism of spread of these viruses such as Covid, SARS, MERS and others for more than a decade. .
Este mecanismo se ha descubierto en los virus tipo "coronavirus" como del que ahora somos todos expertos pero, aunque lo hayan descubierto ahora ya llevaban mas de una década estudiando el mecanismo de propagación de estos virus del tipo del Covid, SARS, MERS y demás.

For now, this is just a hypothesis that will have to be tested and in the meantime investigated to find a way to close that door to viruses so that their replicas cannot spread to other cells and continue to infect us.
De momento esto es solo una hipótesis que habrá que probar y mientras tanto investigar para encontrar el modo de cerrarles esa puerta a los virus para que sus réplicas no puedan propagarse a otras células y seguir infectándonos.
If we take into account that COVID-2 and his whole fucking family will be fighting for many more years if we do not change our lifestyle habits (which is very difficult), it is very appreciated that there are people like Montse who dedicate their time and effort to crush the viruses.
Si tenemos en cuenta que el COVID-2 y toda su puta familia va a estar dando guerra durante muchos más años si no cambiamos nuestros hábitos de vida (lo cual es muy difícil), es muy de agradecer que haya gente como Montse que dediquen su tiempo y esfuerzo a machacarlos.

Saludos @mauromar, A pesar de lo tardío que pueda resultar hay que admirar como algunas personas dedican su vida hacer un mundo mejor a pesar de las adversidades.
I think this information is already well known I believe.
Yes, as I told in the post they have been studying it for more than ten years but now with the pandemic it is became more popular.
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, sobre todo en el último párrafo
Hello @mauromar,
As you say, this virus will stay with us for years, just like any other flu virus, it is up to us to learn to live with it.
The studies of virology and everything that you have to do with DNA and RNA is something that I like very much, and I know that it is very difficult to study, because of the size of nanometers, to a great extent what they discover is by logical deduction, it is an art and a science at the same time.
