Just stumbled across this story... Researchers at MIT's Lincoln Lab have developed a technology/drug that is capable of curing VIRUSES!!!
If this comes to light this could be the biggest medical breakthrough since Penicillin. This is a very interesting story you can read the whole article here.

No doubt - whatever it is - they'll have to spend about 100 years testing it to make sure its safe before it will be put to use! Smile

Not a bad thing. I remember going to school with thalidomide babies.

I don't see it taking 100 years to test something like this. A decade or two at best. However something like this would be very costly I would imagine.

None the less its still very interesting.

I used to play chess tournaments with a guy who had a horrible case of polio that he caught from the polio vaccine (early days).

Just in time, because other researchers recently developed a virus that could kill us all.

If there is any light to be made of this new killer flu, surely it is the fact that the U.S.Military is apparently upset that it was not involved in the development process.
