Being a Microbiologist i do have information about it. I have an idea that how much time it takes. Its covid 19 which is only few months old, even there is no vaccine for HCV and many other viruses yet which is much older. Yeah antiviral drugs are there for HCV.
I might sounded unprofessional or immature but i am tired of this corona. I hope some miracle would happen soon. If not a vaccine, at least we will get antiviral drug for covid 19 pretty soon. We can hope for the best.
Nahi I get it, it's a hard time and I myself yo-yo between optimistic and frustrated. The optimism is more because I'm trying to keep my spirits up. You caught me at an optimistic time. In a way I need to believe that out of all the research being done, someone at least will be successful.
In the long run there has to be either a vaccine/ viable treatment because this lifestyle isn't sustainable. In some places the lockdowns have been eased, but everyone is also on standby that the lockdown will get stricter again if the numbers go up.
HCV is kind of different from Covid because like you said there are antivirals, but also theoretically you can control it's spread- so there's not really any money in it which is ultimately what the drug companies are about. With the way things are right now, everyone is in a race to develop the vaccine/cure, so this is more of a priority for all research.
But you're absolutely right that this is getting to be exhausting and we can only hope for the best. InshaAllah khair, I guess.
