Explanation:
Humanity is under attack.
The attack is not from large
tentacle-flailing
aliens, but from invaders so small they can barely be seen,
and so strange they are
not even clearly alive.
All over
planet Earth,
the human home world,
DNA-based humans are being invaded by the
RNA-based
SARS-CoV2.
The virus, which creates a disease known as
COVID-19, specializes in reprogramming human cells into
zombies that manufacture and release copies of itself.
Pictured here is a high magnification image of a
human cell covered by attacking novel coronavirus SARS-CoV2 (orange).
Epic battles where two species square off in a fight
to the death are not unusual on Earth, with several just involving
humans typically
ongoing at any time.
Even so, most humans are predicted to survive.
After several years,
humanity expects to win this war --
but only after millions of humans have died and trillions of
coronaviruses have
been destroyed.
