Name two RNA viruses?

Two major examples of RNA viruses are **Influenza** (which causes the flu) and **SARS-CoV-2** (the virus responsible for COVID-19).

Since you’re currently diving into physiology, you might also find these interesting from a medical perspective:

* **Poliovirus:** Important for its impact on the motor neurons of the spinal cord (fitting for your nerve-muscle studies!).

* **Rhinovirus:** The most common cause of the common cold.

* **HIV:** A retrovirus that uses RNA as its genetic material but converts it into DNA once inside a host cell.

Would you like me to help you create a comparison table of these viruses based on their Baltimore classification (positive-sense vs. negative-sense RNA)?
