The most detailed hypothesis of the immune mechanism of action of BCG against SARS-Cov-2 at present
Another layman tries to wrap up relevant information and hypothesize how BCG works against SARS-Cov-2 through our immune system. I have read many papers related to this topic and think this blog post wraps up much relevant information and hypothesize to the most detail. He/she even proposes the experiments needed for proof.
The problem is that this is written in Japanese. I think this worth spreading in English and get researchers' attention. I hope anyone who has the skill and will translate it into English.
