As COVID-19 (otherwise known as novel coronavirus) spreads around the globe and the United States — where it has killed an estimated 27 people as of this writing — health care experts and scientists are working around the clock to try to find a vaccine or cure. One of these people is Jeremy Smith, governor’s chair at the University of Tennessee Knoxville and director of the University of Tennessee Oak Ridge National Laboratory Center for Molecular Biophysics. Smith is one of the researchers behind a new study using the supercomputer Summit, which attempted to identify compounds that could be used to fight the disease. The study, which appeared in ChemRxiv (an open-access website where scientists can post research in progress), looked at 8,000 potential compounds, identifying 77 small-molecule compounds that could potentially be useful. While the work is in its very early stages, and the paper has not yet been peer reviewed by a scientific journal (as is standard for scientific publications; they wanted to get their research out there as quickly as possible), it could potentially lay the groundwork for future research into therapeutic treatments for coronavirus. As we spoke, 50 compounds were being tested in a lab in Memphis.

About
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment.
HOW IT SPREADS
The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.
You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
