What if the vaccine or drugs don’t save us? Plan B for coronavirus means research on alternatives is urgently needed

Research output: Contribution to journal › Online Resource › Education

Abstract

The curve of the COVID-19 epidemic has been flattened in many countries around the world, and it hasn’t been new antivirals or a vaccine that has done it. We are being saved by non-drug interventions such as quarantine, social distancing, handwashing, and – for health-care workers – masks and other protective equipment.
