There is no good reason to leave any stone unturned.
Here is an example of a known chemical agent that has a lethal respiratory effect on "biological systems" according the the article in the following link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3148621/ "Cyanide has a very high affinity for iron in the ferric (Fe+3) state. On entering the biological system, it readily reacts with trivalent iron of cytochrome oxidase (an end-chain enzyme of cellular respiration) to form a complex, thereby impairing the utilization of oxygen in the tissues. Eventually, death follows as a result of respiratory failure." … "Artificial respiration and oxygen are given as first aid to victims of cyanide poisoning."
If SARS-CoV acts on a biological system with a mechanism that is similar in effect to a known lethal poison, would it be logical to suppose that the virology industry would be extremely interested in exploring the possibility of the enhancement of its transmissability?
