Llama antibodies could help find the CURE for Coronavirus

This is pretty awesome. Some scientists in Belgium have been doing research on Coronavirus and have been using Winter (a 4 year old llama) for help. Apparently, Llamas have been used for antibody research for a very long time due to their unique genetic makeup including for HIV, flu, SARS, and other viruses. Now, they are using Winter to help neutralize the novel Coronavirus. There's still a ton of work to do to attempt to bring this into the clinic but according to one researcher, "if it works, llama Winter deserves a statue".
