According to biochemists, virus are inert substances. But according to microbiologists, virus are organisms. The properties of virus clearly prove that virus are neither living nor inanimate. For this reason, scientist A. Lowff commented in 1952 – A virus is a virus. It is neither a living organism nor a non-living chemical, but something in between. That is, a virus is a virus. It is neither living matter nor inert chemical matter. A virus is a type of organism between living and non-living things.
In 1962, scientists Stanley and Valens commented, virus are already like inanimate objects, but the moment they get a chance to attack a cell, the moment life is transmitted.
