        <p>This paper [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>] is nicely written by the author, and it is indeed a very important work on SARS-CoV-2 infection. The author presents all the data appropriately and discusses the data rationally. It will be a very interesting and vital reference paper to all those who are working on this topic. I want to see the paper published soon. Best wishes.</p>
