            Abstract

            This letter outlines the potential use of a three-component solvent, with strong anti-viral properties, as an economical and efficient treatment of COVID-19. It focuses on the generation and delivery of the alcohol-based solvent as nanodroplets deep within a patients lungs to reduce the viral load and potentially reduce the impact of a bradykinin or cytokine storm. The treatment is considered for compassionate use where other methods are not available or will not work.
