BCG vaccine

   Clinical trial to see if  BCG vaccine to give protection against Coronavirus.  Not to generate  a specific immune response to the virus, just because this vaccine strongly boosts the antiviral immune response in a general way.  The boosted immune system seems to stay primed for quite a while after this vaccine. The pathway involved does not lead to cytokine storm so on one hand it boosts the right components of the immune system, while regulating others.  Worth a try.
