Virologists at Swedens Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm have worked with the Canadians to adapt the medicine to SARS-CoV-2 using volonteers already infected with COVID-19 in Stockholm. Germany, Austria, Denmark and China are also now onboard and test trials are underway. The drug has so far been used on few patients and they had fairly light symptoms so there is still uncertainty how it will fall out but the medicine in the cases so far prevented the virus from replicating inside the human body by trapping it in a sort of copy of ACE2-receptors which is what the virus use to enter the body. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/vetenskap/sars-lakemedel-mot-corona-ger-positiva-resultat --- "BalanceLost has a steam-powered PS2 because Sweden don't have electric" - dimeanatrix <cite>BalanceLost posted [p:937179005] in Sweden-Can...
