"Prof. Yaakov Nahmias says that his research shows that the novel coronavirus is so vicious because it causes lipids to be deposited in the lungs, and that there is a solution to undo the damage: a widely-used anti cholesterol drug called fenofibrate."

Good, short article of hope, thanks for posting the link.
Can't imagine it could be true, turning the virus into something analogous to having a common cold.

It seems to me a viable theory. Whether or not it is a viable treatment is another matter entirely.
