Thank you. I guessed it was something along those lines. There was some research suggesting that certain beta blockers lock the cell receptors, so the virus has no place to interface with cells and just dies. But your thoughts are as good as any to me. Changing the pH makes sense I suppose viruses need a specific set of circumstances to replicate and thrive. Maybe something as simple as changing the body chemistry for a short time would work, e.g. raise the blood pH just a little bit. I know there is some thought that raising blood pH could fight off cancer cells.
I have just very rudimentary knowledge - enough to get me in trouble sometimes lol. But I like to be corrected when I am wrong. Science has no ego and when discussing science I have a lot to learn, and I want to learn more as I can absorb it. I am only on the periphery of chemistry but I have some experience following (but not actively involved with) some drug development and testing.
