There is still no cure. Patients are given supportive care for their symptoms, such as ventilators to aid breathing and fluids to prevent dehydration. Some researchers are searching for drugs that would block coronavirus infections; others are trying to develop a vaccine. Scientists have already sequenced the entire genome of the coronavirus, a major step in developing better treatments...
...week to collaborate with NIAID to insert portions of the coronavirus genome into a weakened cold virus. If the proteins generated by these snippets are powerful enough to trigger an effective immune response, then the resulting vaccine might be successful. NIAID is also coordinating separate U.S. government efforts to develop vaccine candidates. And the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Disease is screening thousands of compounds to see if any might slow or stop the disease...
...first phase, patients get a fever of 100.4°F or more, with chills, headache and muscle aches. Within a week, most develop a dry cough and difficulty in breathing; about 10% to 20% require a ventilator. Some also get severe diarrhea...
...trying too hard to mimic its film progenitor, and Soldier of Fortune, Inc. (1997) finally overestimated America's interest in killing foreigners. Then he hired Jonathan Littman, the Fox executive who oversaw The X-Files and Beverly Hills, 90210, to run his TV company and instructed him to develop a show about a crime-scene-investigation lab. "We basically said we wanted to make Quincy for people who don't need an oxygen mask," Littman says. "We go into the body, making it almost three-dimensional. We have made TV director-centric as well as writer-centric. TV is moving...
...works, but private companies are hesitant to spend money on a virus that could disappear soon. That means most of the research is left to the cash-strapped public sector, and progress is slow. Even the most optimistic researchers believe a vaccine will take two years to develop?assuming the virus doesn't shape-shift as readily as HIV, making it almost impossible to produce a one-size-fits-all vaccine...
