"Antibiotics like the penicillins have saved millions of lives, in part because they can stop a bacterial infection before anyone understands the microbe causing it. But no such broad-spectrum medicine exists to stop viral infections, leaving the world open to emerging viral threats like COVID-19.
This panel discussion, sponsored by Synairgen and live-streamed from the National Press Club in Washington D.C., will highlight new discoveries that could lead to the world's first broad-spectrum antivirals, including inhaled medicines that would make emerging infections easier to treat. Together, these medicines could have the potential to stymie pathogens as diverse as influenza, adenovirus, RSV — and COVID-19."
