This isn’t really an answer to your question, but I follow science news a lot, including medical, and there are some really neat new lines of research. Just the other day there was progress in a new approach. See: sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181213142206.htm (‘Biologists turn eavesdropping viruses into bacterial assassins
