Fragment of a discussion from Comments:New drug may treat virtually all viral infections
Well, don't forget about antibiotic resistant bacteria, and the tons of mental afflictions that seem to affect everyone, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, things like that. Although this is great news, pleased me to all get out.
EDIT: and heart disease, high chloresterol, obesity, diabetes, there are a lot of diseases and disorders out there that are killing more people than bacteria, viruses, and cancer. Yes, some of them are more preventable than others, but it would still be nice to not have any of them anymore in the world.
