Abstract

In general, the process of the spread of any virus in the human body consists of five stages, which include attachment of the virus to the host cell, penetration, preparation for reproduction, reproduction and propagation. However, different viruses have different life cycles. In this article, we will model the behavior of the corona virus in the body of each affected person and analyze the behavior of this virus in the body using dynamic systems. For this purpose, we study the dynamics of the evolutionary competition between the strategy of the corona virus and the body’s immune cells, especially lymphocytes T and B.
