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.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75214035 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.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78455686 ^^these!! Would taking an ACE inhibitor for already high blood pressure be beneficial or problematic? The ACE2 receptor is merely the route of ingress of NCoV INTO the cell—it does nothing else. Overdosing on ACE2 inhibitor meds would have very serious cardiovascular/vasopressin results. I would recommend NOT doing this. Same with ARBs, the receptor site(ACE2) is complex. Wish it were Once inside the cell it disables the Tregulator cells which is what is used to inhibit the positive feedback loop cytokines storm Vit D plays a part in the formulation/differentiation of the myloproliferative cell into a Tregulator cell That was an outstanding explanation, thank you! Also, I’ve done quite a bit of additional research since posting that, so have answered a fair amount of my question. Thank you for your reply. .
