I'm out of my depth too but the stuff I've been looking at says that interferons are suppressed by the virus and they are the things which infected cells message uninfected cells to tell them to up their defences.
So some of the therapies are looking at preventing this suppression by some means. Specifically in the one I am most interested by inhaling from a nebuliser so it gets straight to the lungs.
It'd be fascinating if only I understood it.
