Perhaps the treatment could come from our own bodies. Nothing is proven yet, but a silver lining.

Conclusion: Some people (an unknown percentage thus far) might be naturally immune to Covid due to prior infections of common cold coronaviruses. Let's say it's 20 percent of the population. Depending on how we adjust our behavior to lower the herd immunity threshold, we could achieve herd immunity at around 40 percent of the population infected (in theory), so that means only 20 percent of the population would have to be infected. Covid tracking estimates our true infected rate at 7.3%.

I wouldn't mind us beating this thing with a combination of nature (some being naturally immune) and social will (wearing masks, careful behavior, etc) and see the pharmaceutical companies eat .
