It is a mutating virus, meaning that everytime our antibodies attack the virus, the virus changes and white blood cells then have to create new antibodies to fight off the new virus, however, the virus keeps on changing, creating an endless circle.

Imagine the virus is shaped as a square, and our anibodies are shaped as larger hollow squares to capture them, but then the virus changes shape to a triangle that doesn't fit, so the anitbodies have to go and become triangles etc.

This is how it was simplified for me in class.
