Rapid Repurposing of Drugs for COVID-19

I think the best part of this article is the clear diagram of all the drug targets. Look at it first. We hear a lot of talk about the Spike protein and rightly so since if it can be neutralized then the virus cannot enter cells and be replicated. Eventually it will be cleared from the body. This diagram divides viral replication into 6 steps and OpenPandemics could potentially address any or all of them.

Many thanks for the explanation of Remdesivir.

Drier air has not been one of the measures bandied around in a number of publications. Opposed, humid which often comes with warmer air was considered to make covid-19 less able to spread.

Thanks for the references regarding altitude (2500 m or 8000 ft). For reference Lake Tahoe is 6225 ft. I started reading and immediately ran into a term I've never seen before "half-live of the virus." So I thought I'll throw out my first reaction to the topic and then come back later after reading the papers. People living at high altitude are less likely to encounter carriers just because there are fewer people going there than the beach. The lower humidity plus increased UV will degrade a virus faster so less likely to get by contacting surfaces. These topics will make for many geostatistical analysis studies to come. Also, plenty of people have died in dry climes, e.g. Iran, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, etc. Also, take a look at the deep UVC lights they've developed that don't seem to harm humans but destroy virus.
Edit 1: From the first paper they make a good case that Covid-19 prevalence is reduced at high altitude. One of their references had some great maps of population & land mass versus altitude. Their hypothesis that down regulation of ACE2 at altitude reduces viral cell entry. I've seen papers where physicians can medically down regulate ACE2 for that very reason. It's a trade-off since ACE2 is all over the body and reducing ACE2 too much can stop ones heart.
Edit 2: "This review is a narrative one." So it doesn't even rise to the level of a review article. My take is vitamin D is good in so many ways and a deficiency is bad. The authors have the opinion that more is better up to some unknown point and trials are needed. If I had Covid-19 and someone asked me to join a double blind trial of VD I'd want to rip my respirator out and spit in their eye. Take a walk in the sun and eat a balanced diet.
Edit 3: The Total Coronavirus Deaths in Peru chart is great. Linear looks like it's skyrocketing out of control but click Logarithmic and the slope is dramatically dropping and so it's clear Covid-19 deaths & cases are slowing.
