Scientists discover higher levels of CO₂ increase survival of viruses in the air and transmission risk
by Phys.org
Phys.org— A new study has revealed for the first time the vital role carbon dioxide (CO2) plays in determining the lifespan of airborne viruses—namely SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It clearly showed keeping CO2 levels in check helps to reduce virus survival, and therefore the risk of infection.

Daily Mail—Scientists create new coronavirus jab that even works on viruses they haven't discovered yet in a bid to beat the next pandemic. The new approach to vaccines called 'proactive vaccinology', from the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Caltech in California , builds a vaccine before the disease even becomes threat.
