One major problem that makes a viral infection so hard to cure is that they mutate so rapidly. It also hard to find drugs that will work. Tamiflu is an antiviral that acts against an enzyme that the virus needs to break out of the host cell and spread but many viruses are so simple that there are very few ways to stop them.

Why are virus not curable?

Viruses are difficult to cure because they invade host cells to replicate, making it challenging to target them without harming the host cells. Additionally, viruses can mutate quickly, leading to the development of resistance against treatments. This complexity makes it challenging to develop a universal cure for all viruses.
