The one thing that you haven't mentioned is the use of a broad-spectrum ANTIVIRAL, like antibiotics, but this would halt the spread of the virus, itself.
They don't exist?
Actually, at least one does - AgNPs.
Visit PubMed.GOV.
Note: .gov means US gov't.

Here's some more info on AgNPs vs viruses that worried the US Military enough that they hired a bunch of scientists to advise them on how best to address the problem of troops who encounter various lethal viruses (not *only* Hemorrhagic Fevers).
Here's how viruses work:
Step 1: Attach to the host/victim cell via binding enzymes
Step 2: Inject the viral sequence through the hole in the host cell
Step 3: The host cell incorporates the viral sequence into its own DNA, and makes copies of the virus until the cell ruptures

Here's info on what AgNPs do to the HIV-1 (AIDS Virus) AgNPs).
HIV-1 is covered with binding enzymes (gp120) which usually sticks the virus to the host cell. They look like an old potato with "eyes".
Exposed HIV-1 to AgNPs small enough, the AgNPs stick to the binding enzymes.

By "small enough", I mean smaller than 5nm. For reference, a single silver atom is 0.29nm in diameter.
"AgNPs" is a misnomer, as they aren't particles, but clusters of silver atoms (like a cluster of grapes).
AgNPs attach to binding enzymes' active sites, gumming-up the works.

I've tried to illustrate the process with my phone's feeble drawing app.
The first image shows the virus' "florets" sticking to the cell membrane, using "Y"s to represent the florets.
The second shows AgNPs (using * as AgNPs) gumming-up the binding enzymes' active sites.

The gold? It illustrates why silver sticks to the binding enzymes' active sites.
Gold's nucleus is so heavy that it invokes Relativity - Time dilates (slows) in high gravitational fields. Without time dilation, it'd be white.
Silver isn't as dense, but it's close.

Silver isn't as dense, but it's close.
Silver's nucleus isn't quite heavy enough to shift its UV (UltraViolet) absorption band into the visible spectrum, like gold does, but it is dense enough to "blur" its valence.
It's never stable, so silver atoms don't stick together as tightly as gold's atoms do.
They swarm.

That's the key.
Literally, that's why silver nanoCLUSTERS (the ACCURATE description) fit into the binding enzymes' active sites like a *magic key*.
Binding enzymes are configured to attach to one specific protein (which varies from one virus type to the next) on the host cell.

The swarm of silver atoms find a strong electric field in the binding enzymes' active site (which is why they bind) and colonize it, like bees making a hive in a hollow tree.
Once inside, the silver atoms don't leave.
And the binding enzymes can't stick to their intended target

That doesn't kill the virus, because viruses aren't alive.
But it does render them incapable of infecting any host cells.
You can make a suspension of these AgNPs in the purest water possible (de-ionized distilled water), and the tiny nanoCLUSTERS will float around in the water

... like cigar smoke in the air.
They won't fall out of the water because they're too small, and water molecules themselves are constantly banging around, which keeps them suspended (unless you put too many of them together, in which case they glom together and get too big).

This suspension of silver nanoCLUSTERS in pure water isn't my discovery, it's been around for over a century.
Back then, it was called "Colloidal Silver", and it was used to treat infections/Sepsis. My grandmother's app'x ruptured a century ago, and it prevented her from dying.

It was actually FDA-Approved to treat infections of ALL sorts, including VIRAL.
In 1977, when Pharma realized antibiotics were more profitable, they stopped making it.
Since then, they've tried to stamp it out of existence, but quietly, lest they advertise its existence.

When I get a cold (another coronavirus), I take this. A few sprays up each nostril, and a few more down my throat, and the cold vanishes in hours.
I don't sell anything, nor do I have any vested interest in its sale. I give these to my friends as gifts.
Amazon sells it.
