COVID-19: Is there a simple solution that has been overlooked?

It discusses the use of Nebulizer Treatment for Asthma Patients could be helpful in treating COVID-19 patients.
I tried to find corroborating evidence for this. There are many articles on the web about Asthma and the Corona Virus, so here is just one of them:
COVID-19 AND ASTHMA: WHAT PATIENTS NEED TO KNOW

Back in March, a related story had this to say:
Asthma meds being used for COVID-19, may cause inhaler shortage
while the video above is about Nebulizers, this article deals with Salbutamol and a shortage developing. This was in March, and at that time, there were shortages of just about anything (even disinfectant, masks etc), something that has largely been alleviated by now.

All this information has to be taken with a grain of salt, but to defeat this virus, we should not leave any stone unturned.
One take-away from what Dr. Bartlett mentions is also what I had said repeatedly: the virus, like any Coronavirus, may be mutating (some reports say this is already taking place), so hoping for a vaccine is useless, and we should concentrate on treatments.

Should we hope that the virus becomes less harmful? Looking for "mutating" as a keyword, I found this:

Will mutations soon make the coronavirus less harmful?

One thing making the development of an effective vaccine or drug against the novel coronavirus so difficult is the fact that a virus constantly changes over time. Some six months into the pandemic, researchers worldwide have already registered 100 different variants of SARS-CoV-2.

on my website, I maintain a page collecting what I find interesting about the virus, plus a lot of relevant links, also to my own blog and Mix collection: https://www.artofthemystic.com/corona-virus-resources.html

Comparing to SARS (I was in Canada at the time) - quote from the article:
https://www.dw.com/en/will-mutations-soon-make-the-coronavirus-less-harmful/a-53839943

Mutated into oblivion: Mutations can even lead to a virus becoming so weak that it eventually disappears completely. This was the case, for example, with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus. Starting in November 2002, the first SARS pandemic spread from southern China to almost all continents within a few weeks. As the first pandemic of the 21st century, it aroused great fears among the global population. However, SARS ended up claiming only 774 lives worldwide within six months. By the summer of 2003, the number of newly infected persons worldwide was declining continuously, and in May 2004, the World Health Organization already declared this first SARS pandemic to be over.

My comment: Similarly to COVID-19 there was a lot of money invested in developing a vaccine. Eventually, the funding was pulled because there was no profit to be seen. Subsequently, there never was a vaccine against SARS, but a lot of money went down the drain.
