From Wikipedia:

Virus

The English plural of "virus" is "viruses", not "viri".

From the Urban Dictionary:

2. virii

Incorrect pluralization of "virus", used by people who want to make themselves look smarter.
"My computer is infected with virii! I am also a moron."

You do realize that a nanoviricide is 20nm? It's actually smaller than nearly all viruses. So, there would indeed be millions of particles in a single dose.

Did you bother to read anything regarding its efficacy in challenge tests? It takes 1/10th the amount of nanoviricide as opposed to Tamiflu.

You have no concept of how the technology works, so you make up reasons that it can't based on your lack of understanding. You fantasize failure based on your misconceptions, yet present your misconceptions as if they were facts that we're all too stupid to realize.

Good questions, again.

What happens once the virus is attached to the nanoviricide is that the shell of the virus falls apart. Thus the virus "dies". From that moment on, the nanoviricide might be able to be "reused". To kill off other virus particles in the body. However I'm not sure if this mechanism is true or not.

If you imagine soap used for cleaning a oily mark on your skin, when the oil particles have been covered by soap particles, it can sometimes disintegrate the oil into the media around it... (water). I'm not sure if this has a positive or negative effect on the available soap particles for further cleaning of oil...

Anyhow, ofcourse, you need millions of nanoviricide. Maybe even billions. Thus the theory is you need to re-dose every now and then... Its chronic therapy. Which is resolved when there is a cure for the virus its self or when all the cells die which are hosts.

When virus outbreaks happen, nanoviricide provides the time buffer to develop vaccines/cures..etc.

I have!

I figure it would take an equal amount of cide as viral infection. Match it - they are about equal in size - actually the virus particle is about 6 times larger but that is a 3D arrangement - the cides coat the exterior so do the math - an equal match should do the trick. a teaspoonful of viral load requires a teaspoonful of cide. My math! But Phases 1 and 11 will establish dosage - let's not get ahead of ourselves!
