Australian biotech company Ena Respiratory said on Monday that a nasal spray it is developing to improve the human immune system to fight common cold and flu significantly reduced the growth of the coronavirus in a recent study on animals.

A study on ferrets showed the product dubbed INNA-051, which could be used complementary to vaccines, lowered the levels of the virus that causes COVID-19 by up to 96%, the company said. The study was led by British government agency Public Health England.

Ena Respiratory said it would be ready to test INNA-051 in human trials in less than four months, subject to successful toxicity studies and regulatory approval. The company has raised A$11.7 million for the development of the spray. Investors include venture capital firm Brandon Capital Ltd, the Australian federal government, pension funds and biotech giant CSL LtdSeveral companies across the world are in the pursuit of developing a coronavirus vaccine. Australia has entered into agreements with some drug companies investing billions to secure potential vaccines for COVID-19, which has killed over 992,000 people worldwide.

Australia has so far reported 875 deaths and just over 27,000 coronavirus cases, far less than the numbers reported in other developed countries.

Nose sprays are designed to do that ... so ... I'm glad it works 👍

This is exciting news. If the nasal spray works along with a vaccine, it would be the protection we need to combat the coronavirus and perhaps then we could all get back to our normal lives again. Let's watch this one closely.

So they purposely infected animals with corona...I hope aliens will never come to earth.

GOOD NEWS !

This virus has baffled every one

First little step. Hope it’ll prove to be effective in humans

Sounds like snake oil. Roll up, roll up.....

It takes a long time for corona countermeasures to come out in various fields.

Been testing an inhaler for years which reduces flu symptoms. Never had a cold, if someone starts developing a flu it usually fixes them. Kills coronavirus in vitro. Clinical trials are expensive. Approved for human use though not formally trialed for specific efficacy in vivo:)

P.S. “Australia has so far reported 875 deaths and just over 27,000 coronavirus cases, far less than the numbers reported in other developed countries.” Bravo for funding this research!

Or you could increase vitamin D, C & zinc intake. Top pushing pharma solutions when there's perfectly legit, non-pharma solutions to building a healthy immune system.

Fewer than 10% of Americans show signs of past coronavirus infection, study finds'You cannot assume that we are even anywhere near herd immunity right now in the United States,' Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci. Did you study all 300 million? No? Irrelevent. Herd immunity is total nonsense. Millions would die, and the virus may mutate and be like the common cold, where you can get a new one every year. We've never had a vaccine for a human coronavirus (like the common cold). Corona is the same as the flu. The numbers are only so high because we count deaths WITH corona and deaths FROM flu.
