“... A prescription ACE-2 inhibitor anti-hypertension drug...”

There is no ACE-2 inhibitor drug. The ACE drugs block the enzyme that makes angiotensin. They don’t block the receptors. There are angiotensin-receptor blockers, but they work on type 1 receptors. As far as I know, there is no blocker designed for the type 2 receptor that the corona virus likes.
