Two interesting pictures of wicked viruses

Count me among the ones who have a morbid fascination with  the beauty of evil viruses. 

CDC.gov is an interesting place, and it's okay to download most of the pictures and information at the site. 

This illustration, created at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reveals ultrastructural morphology exhibited by coronaviruses. Note the spikes that adorn the outer surface of the virus, which impart the look of a corona surrounding the virion, when viewed electron microscopically. A novel coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China in 2019. The illness caused by this virus has been named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).  Content Providers: CDC/ Alissa Eckert, MSMI; Dan Higgins, MAMS.  Photo Credit: Alissa Eckert, MSMI, Dan Higgins, MAM.
