Despite the fact soluble ACE2 is not looking like it'll be developed in time to impact the pandemic, there is a silver lining:
If you look at the original paper (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2...), you'll note they include details on angiotensin peptide levels in the patient.
Interestingly, in this n=1 case report, it looks like the soluble ACE2 is unlikely to have worked as an antiviral; the patient already had a high level of antibodies, as you can see in the Lancet paper above. So /if/ the patient's improvements can be ascribed to the soluble ACE2 treatment, it's likely the improvement was because of the effect the soluble ACE2 had on the person's renin-angiotensin system.
And if this holds, then it's likely many of these same improvements would be possible using a common class of widely-available blood pressure medications called ARBs.
This approach would not neutralize the virus, but instead stop the body from damaging itself. That's the theory, at least.
There are ~20 trials of ARBs for COVID-19 in progress now, though almost all are underdosed.
