Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 or COVID-2) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Common symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. The virus is mainly spread during close contact and via respiratory droplets produced when people cough or sneeze. Respiratory droplets may be produced during breathing but the virus is not generally airborne. A half-life optimized fusion composition linked by a Half-Life Optimizing (H-Lo) linker comprising of a receptor binding domain (RBD), a half-life extending domain (LED), wherein the LED is any one of a monoclonal antibody, single domain antibody, nanobody, antibody fragment, or combination thereof and the H-Lo linker with an X+7 amino acid length fusing the RBD C-terminus with the LED N-terminus (RBD-LED fusion) is discussed in the invention.
