Viruses are like sneaky pirates who take over ships. They sneak into your body and then use your own ship (your cells) to make more pirates (more viruses). Once there are enough pirates, they escape and go on another adventure, spreading the infection to other people.
Examples
- A virus enters your nose and takes over your cells like a pirate ship.
- Your body makes more viruses that escape through your sneezes.
- These new viruses go to your friend, who then gets sick too.
