Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Agents Could Be a Quick Response to a COVID-19 Pandemic
By Norwegian University of Science and Technology February 28, 2020
The number of people infected with the new corona virus continues to skyrocket, with more than 80000 cases worldwide as of the end of February. But there’s no vaccine or cure in sight, meaning that doctors can do little more than offer supportive treatment to the very sick and hope their bodies can survive the infection.
Now, however, a coalition of European researchers says that already approved drugs might hold the key to treating the new virus. Their findings have been published as a pre-proof in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases...
