I don't understand what you mean. While it's true that the traditional approach to virus diseases was "rest and wait until the immune system does its job", these days are long gone and we have many viral diseases well controlled by medicine. Sometimes you diminish the viral load to the level you can function normally, sometimes you prevent the replication so that the virus is no longer detectable etc. Yes, there are many viral diseases we have no cure for, but wouldn't it make sense if we treated it as a challenge - and one of the most urgent for the whole humanity?
