Drug thearpy is not going to be fast.  With HIV it took decades, but
they had an advantage (imagine that) in that the disease, before it
killed you, was cronic.  This disease, for most patients, comes and goes
before the patient notices they have it (and yet spread it for 28 days
as I read the latest research).

Running trials is a lot harder.

They need to focus on the vaccine, and they are still not doing this
fact enough.

They also need to invest in general virology.  Epidemic level viral
vacinnations need to be always in research, to be two steps ahead of the
epidemics.  With the current tools for genetic manipulation, they should
be able to do it.
