OP, I’m not a medical professional. However, based on my “layman” research, it’s clear that this virus is similar to SARS in many respects.

I’m finding conflicting information in the matter of ACE-2 that I’m hoping you may clarify.

I’m finding some articles advocating for increasing ACE2 levels to protect against lowered values caused by infection, yet other articles seem to indicate that inhibition of ACE-2 helps to prevent infection.

Can you please offer your insights and recommendations?

Thanks in advance. I’m tracking this thread several times a day for updates.

Hello 011, from another thread:

The wuhan virus is identical to the ACE2 key-- and it fits into the keyhole.

So-- flooding the body with ACE2 would be a means of sopping up the virus-- NOT inhibiting ACE2.

What's your take on that.. some suggested ACE2 inhibitors, but this person thinks it could make matters worse.
