Question

Why making anti-viral medicines is harder than making anti-bacterial medicines?

Answer

Making anti-viral medicines is harder than making anti-bacterial medicines. This is because viruses have very few biochemical pathways of their own, which can be targeted. Viruses depend on their host to complete all the biochemical reactions, thus with little pathways of their own, the anti-viral medicnes cannot target and kill them.
