Most Awesome Medical Breakthrough Since Penicillin

sounds AWESOME. back when i was a Bio major, I would have actually died of excitement reading about this, lol

but seriously though, sounds like the tests are going well, and I cant see any immediate problems with it(not that there isnt a team of fully trained MIT scientists who would have already caught anything I could think of)

my only question is whether or not its possible for viruses to mutate and discontinue their use of dsRNA, say they switch to regular RNA? thats probably far-fetched, but i feel like viruses are some of the most adaptive organisms(?) on the planet

Assuming it was a mutation that created the different RNA for viruses, or that viruses mutated to create the "normal" RNA, it should be possible. The probability of it happening, however...
