The study of viruses is vertiginous. Some have contributed to winning wars, others to fighting bacterial diseases, others have served to obtain very important enzymes, others have plagued humanity and others have put it in check. The study of viruses that includes how to detect them, how to deal with them (antivirals) presupposes time, skills and knowledge that not everyone possesses and that has caused some Nobel Prize winners to be assigned the name of eccentrics, as pointed out to Kary Mullis, the inventor of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), which today is used both for the detection and identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants. This latest invention has been so important that some point out that molecular biology is divided into a before and after PCR.
Finally, viruses are worthy of study per se and because -in addition- they cause diseases.
