    A nasal spray to stop the virus

    A biotech company in Australia, Ena Respiratory, said that a nasal spray it is developing might help boost the human immune system to fight flu and common colds.

    The
    novel product, called INNA-051, also significantly reduced the growth of the coronavirus in a recent study in animals.

    “We’ve been amazed by just how effective our treatment has been. By boosting the natural immune response of the ferrets with our treatment, we’ve seen a rapid eradication of the virus,” Christophe Demaison, the Ena Respiratory Managing Director, said.
    “If humans respond similarly, the benefits of treatment are two-fold. Individuals exposed to the virus would most likely rapidly eliminate it, with the treatment ensuring that the disease does not progress beyond mild symptoms. This is particularly relevant to vulnerable members of the community. In addition, the rapidity of this response means that the infected individuals are unlikely to pass it on, meaning a swift halt to community transmission,” he added.

    I heard something about that a couple weeks back. It will be able to be sent to remote locations where other vaccines aren't able to go without being refrigerated.

    Interesting stuff, going to be a little while before its available if its only in animal testing stages.

    Asked a friend in the industry, said there are at least 4 other drugs farther along in testing.

    Good things are on the way, just have to be smart and get thru the rough days to reach the light at the end of the tunnel.
