Methods of preventing or treating infection by a SARS-CoV-related betacoronavirus are described. The methods include administering to a patient at risk of being infected by a SARS-CoV-related betacoronavirus or suffering from SARS-CoV-related betacoronavirus-related illness a small molecule drug and/or an antibody that binds to the ACE2-SARS interaction domain of either ACE2 or SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Also described are vaccines comprising S-protein polypeptides corresponding to the ACE-2 interaction domain.
