Vitamin C and coronavirus / William Simonson

When deciding on a topic for this issue's column it seemed obvious to me to address some aspect of the elephant in the room… Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or “COVID-19.” There are so many aspects of the virus ….. which particular aspect of the topic should I address? Ultimately, the virus will only be fully-controlled when a safe and effective vaccine is available. Experts say that this will take at least 12–18 months, which is still record time for development of a vaccine. Perhaps it is wishful thinking on my part but I think such a vaccine might be available in less than one year. For what it is worth, I just heard an interview where the subject said that a vaccine may be available for first responders by this Autumn….let us hope so.
