Dr RobWhat can make a chicken, a computer and a human sick? A virus! They aren't "alive" but they can infect us, multiply inside us, and prove a serious challenge for our immune systems.

So what are viruses, how do they work and what is science doing to combat them? Join Dr Rob as he sneezes up a storm and SCOPES out all the science behind viruses! As once again the ordinary becomes extraordinary, under the SCOPE.
