Totally agree! He see's the big picture and the future of antiviral treatment. I wonder if they have tested this virus. This is new to the region, and U.S. as of this year.

Though the number of chikungunya cases in Caribbean countries continued to grow last week, topping 189,000 cases, the pace slowed as officials reported a steady trickle of imported cases in US residents who had traveled to affected areas.

The number of suspected or confirmed cases reached 189,055, reflecting 18,519 more cases than the previous week, according to a Jun 20 update from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). That increase is slightly more than half of the 35,139 new cases reported in PAHO's Jun 13 update.

Seven more deaths attributed to the mosquito-borne disease were reported, boosting the outbreak's fatality number to 21.
