Hmm have you ever had influenza?
You immune system fights most off.

I say that because I believe mainstream pharma will say "incurable" due to the fact they have no pill that straight up eradicates the viral infection.
Vaccines are preventative, antivirals like relenza only slow replication down to give your immune system more time, and it's well known antibiotics have no effect.
Because nature's remedy (food, herbs, honey, etc) is cheap, and because they don't invest much into testing basic solutions, we are left with "no official cure".
The word cure here is used out of context, as the context reveals that it is only half-true.

Yeah your body gets rid of the symptoms it causes but the virus stays in your body.

Does this make 2019-nCoV a retrovirus? If not, what kind of RNA virus is it?

If Corona is an engineered virus...to what end. Who is the targeted victim and why? Georgia Guide Stone vibe!

Antibiotics being useless against viruses IS well-known, as you say, but not well-known enough. Far too many people still use them improperly, and far too many so-called doctors will prescribe them to patients despite no bacterial infection.
Antibiotic abuse is a much bigger threat to humanity than any "hard drug", and should be regulated as such. I worry with outbreaks like this that idiots will further the cause of superbugs.
