## :thought_balloon: Background
This project applies techniques from [reverse engineering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering) to understand the [SARS-CoV-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome_coronavirus_2) virus. The goal here is simply to build an understanding of the virus from first principles.
