TV mathematician Matt Parker says the microscopic size of Covid-19 means that its total volume is a minuscule 8ml, or 0.2 fluid ounces. A teaspoon holds 6ml of liquid which means the killer virus would fit in little more than a one. Mr Parker said he made several assumptions to come up with the figure but even at the upper end of his estimates, all the Covid-19 virus on the planet would fit inside a shot glass. To date there have been more than 54million coronavirus cases across the world with 1.3million deaths. Multiplying everything, Mr Parker estimates there are 3.3 million billion Covid-19 cells in the human population.
