TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – An English mathematician counts all corona virus The cause of the millions of Covid-19 cases circulating around the world today can be put in one can of Coca-Cola soda.
The mathematician’s calculations show how much damage the tiny virus particles cause.
By using the global rate of new infections with pandemic disease, plus the estimate viral loadBath University mathematician Kit Yates found that there are about two quintillion, or 2,000,000 trillion, of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles in the world when they are collected in one place and at the same time.
Yates said he used diameter SARS-CoV-2, averaging about 100 nanometers or 100 billion meters, and then calculating the spherical volume of the virus.

Even taking into account the spike protein projected by the coronavirus and the fact that the spherical particles will leave gaps when stacked together, the total is still less than a 330-milliliter can of Coca-Cola, he said.
“It is astonishing to think that all the trouble, annoyance, hardship and loss of life that has resulted in the past year could only have been a few bribes,” Yates said.
More than 2.34 million people have died in the coronavirus pandemic so far, and there have been nearly 107 million cases Covid-19 which is confirmed worldwide.
