FReegards Tymesup!
This is so complicated, sorry.
I have a registration on science direct under the covid policy of “open access” so I can read wayyyyy over my head about all this.
I don’t know if this link will work for you, but it is a good summary, if you just wanna learn more about this thing. My statement about the error correction gene of course is an over-simplification you will see, and this article is not specific to what we are discussing:

Thank you for the link. I agree it’s complicated.
I didn’t see error correction. Perhaps replication fidelity and nsp14?
One thing that struck me is there are 7 coronaviruses. Three of them started recently - SARS in 2002, MERS in w012 and Covid in 2019. Perhaps they all came from labs.
The article mentioned that ACE inhibitors and blockers are probably helpful for Covid, although this wasn’t the early thinking.
The article mentioned chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, unfavorably. HCQ causes phospholipidosis, which was confused with anti-viral efficacy.
I got the sense that section 4.5 on vaccines was written as propaganda by a different author. It covers:
Successful
Some people refuse
Shifted to convincing
Sufficient hosts for the virus to mutate
Boosters
