Finland Just Found a Monster Virus!

Get this: scientists in Finland just discovered a giant virus that’s literally twice the size of the flu or coronavirus. It’s called Jyvaskylavirus, and it hangs out with amoebas instead of people (for now). Turns out, these massive viruses are way more common in northern places than anyone thought. Some even have thousands of genes—way more than regular viruses! Wild to think what else could be lurking in the soil and water, right? #ScienceNews #GiantVirus #Finland #Microbiology #WeirdScience #Health
