We have electons every 5 years and they’re country-wide, so pretty big really.

Viruses are the smallest of all the microbes. They are said to be so small that 500 million rhinoviruses (which cause the common cold) could fit on to the head of a pin. On the other hand, there is no concept of an electron size other than the spatial extent of the electron wavefunction, which is tiny. Much, MUCH smaller than a virus. Smaller of course than an atom. 

 

So if 500 million rhinoviruses can fit on the head of a pin, how many mouseviruses could fit on the head of a pin?

Exactly the same number, if you used a much, much smaller pin.

You won't be telling that one much for the next few weeks.

CV can only live for a few minutes on copper but up to three days on steel, plastic and stainless. Brass and bronze have high copper content!
