What does COVID treatment require?

Transmission

  • Wells evaporation-falling curve - 100 micron droplets dry out and nuclei fall to the ground within a few seconds, with max at 160 microns after which they do not dry but fall to the ground more quickly due to heavier weight. - [1]. Summary - if airflows exist (even convection from higher body temperature) - contamination may occur to other patients, and even large distances if air movement is present (wind, doors opening, etc).

Mechanism of Infection

  • Here is one point of view - [2]

Mechanisms for Cure

  • Existing drugs - advantage - testing any of many drugs that are already approved by the FDA as safe. See more about this approach at [3]
