The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has highlighted the need for antiviral approaches that can target emerging viruses with no effective vaccines or pharmaceuticals. Here we demonstrate a CRISPR-Cas13-based strategy, PAC-MAN (Prophylactic Antiviral CRISPR in huMAN cells), for viral inhibition that can effectively degrade RNA from SARS-CoV-2 sequences and live influenza A virus (IAV) in human lung epithelial cells.

A Plausible "Penny" Costing Effective Treatment for Corona Virus
Many viruses require reduced sulfhydryl groups for cell fusion and entry. Corona viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 (the cause of the condition now named coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19), are rich in cysteine, which residues must be intact for viral activity. Sulfhydryl groups are vulnerable to oxidation. Ozone therapy, a very inexpensive and safe modality may safely exploit this critical vulnerability in many viruses, inclusive of SARS-CoV-2.

In recent years traditional journalism has experienced a collapse, and science journalism has been a major casualty. One potential remedy is to encourage scientists to write for news media about science.

Seasonal Mimicry Approaches for Combating COVID-19

Collaborative research document investigating potential tactics and strategies to combat COVID-19 transmission and human susceptibility through exploiting its apparent sensitivity to seasonal conditions. Is it possible to recreate these conditions - whatever they are - out-of-season?
Vaccination Ideas
a. mass vaccination against influenza (less doubt re: flu symptoms)
b. vaccinate against pneumonia (reduce complications that many die from)
c. design a very cheap, fast test to roll out en masse (see S-Korea)
d. efficient tracking of who has it and with whom they have been in contact (see China)
e. local sustainable production of ventilators/masks.
For c. People are working on better identification at genetic level. More is possible re smartphone-based testing from symptoms. Ex: animals can be tested for disease on the basis of their sounds. Try powerful ML to analyze coughs (frequency + intensity), temp, facial change, other characteristics easily measurable w mobile phones -- to estimate the probability of corona.
For d. Think of linking existing gps data to an app, as in many asian countries: what’s a v we could use comfortably?
