Giant Microbes SARS Virus Original Plush Soft Toy Educational Gift 14cm

Picture the scene. A global panic. A virulent disease, spread through the respiratory system, that held the potential to infect millions. Sound familiar? Well, we aren’t talking about the dreaded C-word that blighted the world in 2020… instead, we’re talking about the original, from way back in 2003. This SARS Plush by Giant Microbes is a timely reminder of the pandemic that never was; first appearing in China in 2003, it started to spread like wildfire, ultimately infecting 8000 people and killing hundreds. Fortunately, however, it was spotted in time, and contained, without ever truly achieving global community spread… unlike certain diseases that shall remain nameless! If anything, the lesson to be learned from SARS and the pandemics of the 2020s are this… the fight against viruses is never over, and if we drop our guard, there’s no end to the chaos they can cause. Now, you can learn more about this respiratory malady, in the comfort of your own home! These plushes have a scientifically accurate design, and even come with an array of facts about their specific cell, and are the perfect gift for scientists, teachers, students, or anyone with a healthy sense of humour!
