Viruses are classified as non-living. Although they have DNA or RNA as genetic information, a protein coat, and some, a lipidic envelope, they do not have the machinery to multiply on their own and therefore are non-living. A virus is simply an infectious agent that, through different ways, many times only by releasing its genetic information inside the cell, replicates using other living-cells machinery. Viruses are able to infect any type of cell.

Mucus would most likely accumulate in the respiratory tract as a result of ciliary destruction.

Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. A severe hacking cough is followed by the a high-pitched breath intake that sounds like "whoop" in many people. Before the vaccine, whooping cough was thought to be a childhood disease. Whooping cough now primarily affects children who have not received the full course of vaccinations, as well as teenagers and adults whose immunity has waned.

Deaths from whooping cough are uncommon, but most commonly occur in infants. That is why it is critical for pregnant women and others who will have close contact with an infant to be immunized against whooping cough. The best way to avoid pertussis is to get vaccinated. Check that you and your loved ones have received their pertussis vaccines.
