As a comment and inquiry refering to this and earlier articles regarding pulmonary autopsy of COVID-19 patients showing obstructed alveoli https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1181121.shtml Background It is suported by forensic autopsies that alveoli are blocked from effective gas exchange by the formation of mucus in COVID 19 and if I recall correctly other articles mention fibrinous plack formation in SARS hindering oxygen and carbon dioxide perfusion through the semipermeable membrane of the alveoli. A mucolytic treatment strategy For this reason it would in theory be valuable to be able to apply mucus and fibrin solvents "anticoagulants" for coagulatory complexes eg. fibrin and enzymes e.g. [amylase for splitting up mucus carbohydrates] etc. along the air path side to the alveoli [Non mebrane crossing Von vilibrandt factor antagonists] perhaps also on the airway side for solving mucus if extant if and only if these anticoagulants and enzymes, were of a kind that do not cross a semipermeable membrane. For instance [a non membrane crossing modified heparin like molecule ...] Something for Big Pharma to work on. also in conjunction with [ an aerosol mucal solvent treatment ] the manipulation of patient position utilising gravity to empty the visceral pleural sacs of disolved excess mucus fluid. as a hypothetical treatment strategy with the added benefit of bringing more blood and therefore also oxygen to the brain of a patient. Mucus hypersecretionEdit "In the lower respiratory tract excessive mucus production in the bronchi and bronchioles is known as mucus hypersecretion.[10] Chronic mucus hypersecretion results in the chronic productive cough of chronic bronchitis,[15] and is generally synonomous with this.[16] Excess mucus can narrow the airways, limit airflow, and accelerate a decline in lung function.[10]" wikipedia Regarding glycoproteins such as lactoferrin[1] "Binding of biotin-heparin to immobilized lactoferrin" The lactoferrin -heparin interaction may perhaps contribute to incresing mucus viscosity that may interfere with gas perfusion ? https://respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12931-019-1239-z

Contact tracing through antibody assay Duke-NUS @dukenus · 26 feb. "We're proud and happy to help," said Asst Prof Danielle Anderson from @dukenus ' Emerging Infectious Diseases programme. She elaborated how the team developed the #COVID19 serological test kit which helped the Singapore authorities with contact tracing. Contact tracing now possible via novel use of antibody assays https://mobile.twitter.com/dukenus/status/1232459030506786816?s=02 https://www.duke-nus.edu.sg/directory/detail/anderson-danielle-elizabeth

Noting that for instance Beta-corona viruses like MERS produce a viral load in urine "Low concentrations of the virus were detected in urine" https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00705-014-1995-5?shared-article-renderer It should be of interest to quantify similarly the case for the presence of a COVID19 viral load in urine And possibly advise against the use of public urinoirs which may hypothetically act as aerosolisers.

Ease of spread: Public sanitation facilities may contribute to transmission https://www.bloombergquint.com/global-economics/fecal-transmission-may-be-behind-coronavirus-s-rapid-spread Also 2019-nCoV ACE2 receptor affinity is 10 to 20 fold that of SARS "Surprisingly, ACE2 bound to 2019-nCoV S ectodomain with ∼15 nM affinity, which is approximately 10- to 20-fold higher affinity than ACE2 binding to SARS-CoV S" "The high affinity of 2019-nCoV S for human ACE2 may contribute to the apparent ease with which 2019-nCoV can spread from human-to-human(1), however additional studies are needed to investigate this possibility." https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.11.944462v1.full
