COVID-19 #3: WE KNOW A LOT ABOUT IT – Knowledge is power and the way we will ultimately have control of this virus is that we know its structure and enough about how it works to make drugs and vaccines against it. Researchers at the NIH, universities,and drug companies of all sizes from tiny start-ups to massive industries with global reach are working to develop the tools to defend us. COVID-19 is part of a family of viruses which includes SARS, MERS, and Ebola viruses called Corona viruses because of a “corona” or crown of proteins shown as red on its well-known image(see slide). That crown binds to a protein on the surface of cells in the animals that spread this to us. COVID-19 originally spread to humans from an endangered species called pangolins which have a very similar protein on their cells. The COVID crown proteins fit perfectly into a pocket on the ACE-2 protein (Angiotensin Converting enzyme 2). In 2003, a similar spread of SARS virus from Cevid cats and of MERS in 2012 from camels to humans happened starting smaller epidemics. Vaccines and isolated antibody drugs can be made against these crown proteins and a Bio-Defense global public health network that was built for SARS and Ebola can be restored. The virus comes from bats which make up 20% of all mammals on earth with 1300 different species and is transferred to Pangolins, Cevid cats or camels where it mutates so that it is able to infect humans. We will come through this. Until then, practice social isolation and self-care mentally and physically with Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle!!!
