★★★★ · You have a virus, the microscope tells me so. · Spuzz · 2017-03-12

Fun little film that tells about how to avoid colds. Although it's not as deliriously funny as some other germ-fearing movies on here, such as Soapy, Joan Avoids a cold or my favorite, Preventing the Spread of Disease, this does have it's charms with it's forever sneezing boy and it's how to avoid a cold doctrine, and the many diseases it can lead to in scary-movie-font lettering. Nice science class demos here also. Best moment: Scientist looks into a microscope to see the word 'VIRUS' lol
