<div dir="ltr"><div>"But if the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that we have to <a href="https://singularityhub.com/2020/04/10/a-new-pandemic-playbook-so-next-time-were-ready/">fight back</a>. Not reactively, but proactively.
<p>The study paints two roads towards a hopeful future. With one, it 
showed how global collaboration rapidly merged theoretic and lab studies
 with existing clinical data. In practical terms? Faster identification,
 approval, and deployment of existing drugs against a new coronavirus 
strain.</p>
<p>The other road is rockier but with an even brighter end. The team 
basically drew up a scientific recipe to potentially end coronaviruses 
once and for all. This is just the beginning. But as Dr. Pedro Beltrao, a
 study leader at EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute, <a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/10/418796/international-team-scientists-identifies-common-vulnerabilities-across">said</a>,
 “After more than a century of relatively harmless coronaviruses, in the
 last 20 years we have had three coronaviruses which have been deadly…We
 have the capability to predict pan-coronavirus therapeutics that may be
 effective in treating the current pandemic, which we believe will also 
offer therapeutic promise for a future coronavirus as well.”</p><p><a href="https://singularityhub.com/2020/10/27/can-we-wipe-out-all-coronaviruses-for-good-heres-what-a-group-of-200-scientists-think/">https://singularityhub.com/2020/10/27/can-we-wipe-out-all-coronaviruses-for-good-heres-what-a-group-of-200-scientists-think/</a></p><p><br></p>
