Absolutely!

NNVC's cides work to kill viruses OUTSIDE the cells. Trouble is that the patient doesn't know he is sick till symptoms appear and by then his cells are well infected. The cides taken thereafter remove the free floating cells in the circulating fluids but do NOTHING at all to remove the virus from infected cells which die anyway when the multiplied viral particles are ejected therefrom and the cides do their thing - and some reinfect other cells if the cides miss them. Eventually, I suppose all free floating viruses are killed by the cides BUT those hidden remain to emerge another day. Perhaps the DRACOs will go in and get them?!

All in all, I am VERY encouraged by this new MIT development.

CIDES + DRACO looks like a formidable solution to man's viral threat.
