As new daily coronavirus infections continue to break records in the U.S., researchers are considering whether the cannabis plant has the potential to be used in the treatment of COVID-19. Experts from the University of Nebraska and the Texas Biomedical Research Institute are recommending that scientists study the anti-inflammatory properties in CDB as a potential treatment for lung inflammation caused by the coronavirus. There is no scientific evidence that cannabis or its compounds can help with COVID-19 specifically, but in a peer-reviewed article in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, the authors said further research is needed to understand if CBD can help patients infected by the virus.

"Monoclonals offer a great bridge to a vaccine," Gigi Gronvall, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, said. Full coverage of the coronavirus outbreak A vaccine, which would teach the immune system to mount a defense against the coronavirus on its own, is, of course, the ultimate goal. But monoclonal antibodies can provide the immune system an immediate, albeit short-lived, boost to fight off the virus. It's not unlike the proverb, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Monoclonal antibodies are like giving the man a fish; the vaccine ...
