Coronavirus: Alpacas provide new hope for a COVID-19 cure

Camel(ide)s to the rescue! Don't they spit? Do they wear masks? (just kidding) 
The desperate and frantic search for treatments!

Some famous proverbs about camels:
"It is the last straw that breaks the camel's back."
"Once the camel gets his nose in the tent, his body will soon follow."

"... Camelids, a species that includes alpacas, llamas and camels, produce two types of antibodies, one similar to human antibodies and the other dramatically smaller, called a nanobody. Sharks make them too, but they are slightly harder to work with than alpacas. ..."
