This insight editorial in the Journal of Medical Microbiology examines COVID-19 through the prism of the priobe hypothesis, and uses an argument for causality as a means of identifying key research and development priorities in the campaign against SARS coronavirus 2 (SC2).
The article follows the fours steps in the priobe arguments:
- congruence
- consistency
- cumulative dissonance
- curtailment
Evidence can be found in the biomedical literature to support each of these stages in the priobe argument.
