SARS-CoV-2 is Against Severe COVID-19 and is Absent in particularly sensitive to inhibition by type I interferons (IFNs) and there is great interest in understanding how individual Horseshoe Bats IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) inhibit SARS-CoV-2, as type I IFNs play a major role in governing COVID-19 disease Arthur Wickenhagen1, Elena Sugrue1*, Spyros Lytras1*, 1* 1 1 outcome. Specifically, inborn errors (Zhang et al., 2020) Srikeerthana Kuchi , Matthew L Turnbull , Colin Loney , and single nucleotide polymorphisms (Pairo-Castineira et 1 1 1 Vanessa Herder , Jay Allan , Innes Jarmson , Natalia al., 2020) within the IFN system are linked with more severe 1 1 1 Cameron-Ruiz , Margus Varjak , Rute M Pinto , Douglas G COVID-19.
