to counteract the deadly effect of coronavirus, rather than placing hope in a vaccine. There are too many mutations of the virus, and for most people who contract the virus, it's not a horrible disease.

Being able to stop the progression of the disease to prevent it from destroying vital organs is what is really needed. That reduces hospitalizations in ICU and need for ventilators. Then it becomes a manageable disease.

This is the direction research needs to go.
