Viruses, Mutations, and Variants. Oh My! Episode One: Viruses and Viral Replication

This past year has brought many challenges, including the introduction of new scientific concepts and medical terminology to our daily lives. In this three-part debut series from NETEC, hosts Jill Morgan, RN, Emory Healthcare, and Patricia Ann Tennill, RN, BSN, Associate Director of Nursing, Bellevue Health & Hospitals, will take you on a journey back to the basics of viruses, mutations, and variants.

In part one, Jill and Trish discuss the basics of viruses and viral replication. How does a virus work? Why does a virus replicate? How does the mechanism of viral replication lead to changes in viral genetic code? So join Jill and Trish as they take you back to the basics in this first episode of Viruses, Mutations, and Variants. Oh My!
