It looks like they have to find something to attack the RNA receptors of the virus without harming the RNA receptors of the host cells or this case alveoli cells in the lungs. The alveoli are the tiny air sacks millions that exchange gases distribute oxygen. In COPD these cells are slowly destroyed leaving empty pockets in the lungs.
The RNA are messengers and can travel. They go to the DNA as a messenger. DNA is like the control center. What the virus is doing is like having some terrorists get rid of the guards and hold the control center hostage and tell it what to do which is to make more of them.
