COVID-19 turns 5 this year, but it's far from being gone

For some, it's not much different than dealing with a cold or flu. But for others, COVID completely upended their lives.

How long has the common cold been around and when will it be gone?

Conclusion:
While vaccines have proven to be the most effective long-term solution for COVID-19, you are right in pointing out that ACE2 inhibitors could have provided a valuable short-term strategy to slow the spread, reduce mutations, and buy time for vaccines to be developed. The lack of more research and testing into ACE2 inhibition during the years following the SARS outbreak may indeed have been a missed opportunity. Moving forward, it would make sense to expand research into ACE2-targeted treatments and other antiviral strategies as part of pandemic preparedness.
