48 Hour Protective Nasal Sprays? Adjuvant therapy?
What this spray will do, however, is add a second layer of protection to prevent and slow transmission.
Formulation of a composite nasal spray enabling enhanced surface coverage and prophylaxis of SARS-COV-2
Airborne pathogens pose high risks in terms of both contraction and transmission within the respiratory pathways, in particular the nasal region. Although knowledge of airborne transmission has long been known, there is little in the way of adequate intervention that can protect the individual...www.biorxiv.org
COVID-19 nasal spray protects against coronavirus for up to 48 hours
Chemicals already approved for human use have been combined to make the spray and lab studies show it inhibits the ability of the coronavirus to bind to human cells.www.dailymail.co.uk
Proning Can be Helpful
There may be approximately 20% to 25% of patients with COVID-19 in whom modalities such as high-flow nasal cannula therapy, noninvasive ventilation, and awake proning may stabilize their respiratory status and obviate the need for intubation. Similarly, a fraction of recently extubated patients, who are demonstrating respiratory distress or hypoxemia, may be stabilized without needing reintubation with these modalities.
Memory B cells can last up to 8 months, possibly longer.
Rapid and lasting generation of B-cell memory to SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins in COVID-19 disease and convalescence
Background Lasting immunity to SARS-CoV-2 following infection is questioned because serum antibodies decline in convalescence. However, functional immunity is mediated by long-lived memory T and B (Bmem) cells. Objective To determine the longevity and immunophenotype of SARS-CoV-2-specific Bmem...www.medrxiv.org
Treatment - Fluoxetine Inhibits Viral Replication
Fluoxetine significantly inhibits viral replication of SARS-CoV-2. The scientists believe that this makes it suitable for the early treatment of infected patients who are at a higher risk for severe illness.
Antidepressant inhibits coronavirus
A standard drug for the treatment of depression might also be effective against Covid-19, a new study by WĆ¼rzburg scientists shows which has been published on a preprint server
healthcare-in-europe.com Presenting Symptoms - Seizures
One should not completely rule out seizures as an initial symptom of a SARSāCoVā2 infection but seizure as a presenting problem is pretty rare. However, literature and social media search did not reveal clinical evidence for a risk of seizure worsening in patients with epilepsy.

Sniffer Dogs for COVID-19
Can dogs smell COVID? Hereās what the science says
Canines seem to detect coronavirus infections with remarkable accuracy, but researchers say large-scale studies are needed before the approach is scaled up.
www.nature.com Complications - HT/DM Associated with More Neurological Complications
Positive patients who had hypertension and type 2 diabetes were more likely to experience the neurological complications, including bleeding in the brain and stroke, that come with the virus.
Diabetes, Hypertension Linked to COVID-19-Related Neurological Complications
About 20% of 81 positive patients experienced critical neurological complications; further, half had a pre-existing history of high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.www.hcplive.com
Vaccination - AstraZeneca/"Oxford" Utilises Cell Lines From Foetuses
For some, it's an ethical consideration.
Some cell lines, established decades ago, were derived from cells from electively aborted fetuses and these lines are used in both medical research and the production of some vaccines. These include common vaccines for hepatitis A, rubella, chickenpox and rabies.
Are 'aborted babies' being used for a COVID-19 vaccine? - Australian Associated Press
Religious leaders have raised ethical concerns about a leading COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
www.aap.com.au
Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have some connection to cell lines that came from tissue from elective abortions last century.
Vatican permits use of COVID-19 vaccines made using aborted fetal tissue
The Vatican told Roman Catholics on Monday that it was morally acceptable to use COVID-19 vaccines even if their production employed cell lines drawn from tissues of aborted foetuses.
