Re: Synthetic Compound May Be Useful for Developing Zika Virus Treatment

It is remarkable that they had trouble obtaining funding to support the Zika work on WCG work because it was computational. That is the most cost-effective method.

I would expect that the current COVID-19 outbreak will demonstrate the necessity of such work. The funding agencies should take note.
