Well there is this idea that if we understand how bats tolerate the coronavirus we can try to mimic the same with drugs. The Orf3a of SARS and SARS2 (covid19) has been implicated in activating nlrp3 pathway for instance.So one of the strategies could be to target interaction og orf3a with the human protein it binds to, or drugs that mellow down nlrp3. I am thinking of writing a grant around this or at least include it in another grant that I am already writing. Let's see.

Oh, my fingers are crossed for your grant proposals, so that I could eventually get the answers to my questions ;)
