Abstract
Since the first SARS-CoV-2 infection was officially reported at the end of 2019, COVID-19 has quickly swept the world like a terrifying demon. The whole world is like entering a biological terrorist attack. Everyone seeks all kinds of useful or useless self-protection amidst extreme panic and uncomfortable sadness. The shutdown of the world has brought the entire pandemic crisis into an unprecedented level of confusion. In this process, various forces wrestled with each other, and even science and politics were mixed and strangled. This jumbled together of fish and dragons has cast a shadow of uncertainty over the entire atmosphere of fighting the pandemic. This updated task force provides the latest information on the SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 from its occurrence, development, therapeutics, and prevention. Over several months, although the scientific community has spared no effort in searching for effective drugs that can effectively fight against SARS-CoV-2, the facts are not satisfactory. This task force provides potentially useful therapeutic information after careful identification and screening. It is hoped that it will play a meaningful role in the entire process of the siege of SARS-CoV-2. Simultaneously, this task force makes a more detailed comment on the development of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. In the face of the global pandemic, various forces should work together to find useful medical methods to control SARS-CoV-2 as soon as possible instead of mutual condemnation. We cannot control the virus’s mutation, whereas we will never lose our confidence in defeating the virus and taking off the masks to return to normal.
