The coronavirus continues to be a forefront issue around the globe. Vaccine progress is slow; current projections indicate that a solution will likely only be available by the spring or summer of 2021. Additionally, the virus has not stopped its spread; the infection count today is over 21 million people infected worldwide.
The slow progress on the vaccine and the ever increasing death toll have pushed researchers around the world to look for new and out of the box solutions.
Washington University in St. Louis researchers have begun looking for an alternative solution in the form of immunity boosting therapy. These scientists believe that the coronavirus prevents patients from effectively fighting the pathogen, and that a treatment of immune-boosting substances could potentially prevent mortality and improve a patient’s chances of surviving infection. The researchers also believe that an immune system boosting therapy found in the COVID-19 era would also potentially help us if we encounter further diseases and pandemics in the future.
