Un virus en apuros

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be a virus? In this book you have the opportunity to experience it in first person, since it is a virus itself that tells you its story and how it faces the immune battles of our body on a daily basis. With hardly any scientific vocabulary and with a language available to everyone, you will finally be able to better understand what your immune system is capable of and how much it sacrifices for you.

He tells us step by step what is found in battle, like a soldier who decides to write a diary in his days of war so that the world knows what it is like to be there. The virus that writes this book does not reveal its identity until the end, although it leaves clues for the most curious who may be able to guess what virus it is. In this ending, he describes his closest friends, other famous viruses in the world that he considers to be the most relevant to the human who is reading this book, such as HPV, Herpes, COVID, Influenza or HIV (he is HIV) and his 'special' battle with the immune system.
