According to a laboratory in Israel, the mechanism that allows the Coronavirus to replicate involves fat cells in the lungs. This raises the possibility of counteracting the process of virus replication by attacking fat cells with cholesterol drugs.

The drug is past its patent, so generic forms exist and as such is very cheap.
