A team in the Netherlands reports a possible cure for the Coronavirus. I don’t understand much of it.
Abstract
The emergence of the novel human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, China has caused a worldwide epidemic of respiratory disease (COVID-19). Vaccines and targeted therapeutics for treatment of this disease are currently lacking. Here we report a human monoclonal antibody that neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 (and SARS-CoV) in cell culture. This cross-neutralizing antibody targets a communal epitope on these viruses and may offer potential for prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.While they're at it can they also look for a cure for the tRump virus? The way things have gone in 'Great America' it's a sure bet no cures will come from here.

With Trump and Pence not protecting themselves, we might have cures before November.
@yvilletom Lets hope so (but don't pray).
I read a part that when dumbskull visited one plant he wore a mask but took it off when meeting the press. Doesn't want to tarnish his so-called macho image.

In cell culture -- very early in the process.
