Abstract

The COVID19 pandemic that started in late 2019 has already killed millions people, it is yet far from over and the road to the COVID-free world is much tougher than we all imagined; however, it ends at a vaccine functional against all coronaviruses. In this article, we try to present the aetiology behind evolution of superior pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 and point out fundamental and highly hazardous loopholes in the current vaccination regimens and propose new vaccination strategies. We also suggest societal and personal level management that are necessary to ensure prevention and better recovery outcomes until the arrival of the vaccine. In turn, we apprise the physician for long-term and stringent management of certain chronic diseases, avoiding prescribing certain drugs and suggesting physical exercises and diets that are fortified with specific micronutrients.

Keywords: COVID19, vaccine, diet, drugs, coronaviruses, universal-vaccine, nutrition.
