Summary

The article discusses the importance of developing broad-spectrum antivirals as a public health strategy against various RNA viruses that can cause zoonoses and pandemics. It cites the recent detection of new flu strains and the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 as evidence of the need for a pan-antiviral approach to prevent vaccine-preventable diseases, including influenza and coronavirus. The author advocates for using AI in drug discovery to target RNA-dependent RNA polymerase common to multiple viruses, such as Orthomyxoviridae and Orthornavirae.
