Abstract
The frequent outbreaks of life-threatening RNA viruses, including the ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), pose tremendous challenges to humanity. The author proposes that creating a more alkaline extracellular environment that is unsuitable for the fusion between the envelope of SARS-CoV-2 and the host cell membrane is a promising method to prevent the entry of coronaviruses into human cells. The alkaline environment could be achieved by exposing the general public to water-clustered negative air ions (NAIs), both indoors and outdoors, to induce a gradual increase in the pH of the human body. Previous studies have demonstrated that there are no harmful effects of high-concentration NAIs on human health.
