The ACE2 protein may be an effective treatment for the coronavirus by competing with the ACE2 receptor binding sites in our lungs, kidneys, and intestines that the coronavirus targets to gain entry into our cells. Genetically engineered yeast can produce ACE2 in large quantities.

It takes many attempts to get it right, especially if the yeast does non-homologous end joining which can destroy the modified gene. But once you have a successful run, yeast reproduces exponentially in huge vats which is how Big Pharma makes insulin yet sells it for high prices.

I know this all sounds complicated for those who haven’t studied it. But it’s actually fairly simple and the technology has been around for several years. Someday we need to teach this in high school and let students make their own genetically modified yeast in biology class.

And yes, it would be pretty ironic if the coronavirus can be treated or cured using the same species of yeast that also makes Corona beer.

Flu like symptoms which is challenging at this time of year. Also, as it's spread from China, knowing the exposure affected is critical. So if you have a friend whom has been there in the last week or so.. or friend of a friend...
