Very lucid, relevant, and rational post.

Regarding curing cancer, recent advances seem promising.

"A newly-discovered part of our immune system could be harnessed to treat all cancers, say scientists."

Given the lymphopenia 2019 nCoV is causing, curing AIDS has taken on a new urgency, particularly given the prospect of airborne AIDS combined with potentially lifelong virulence of survivors. Economic losses or profits are only material if there is a society extant to experience them, after all.

Thanks!
