How to use viral in a sentence?

1. Daniel Griffin:

   More recently, The Results have come out -- it was a really landmark paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine -- showing that if you give remdesivir in the first five days, during the acute viral phase, before you wait for the door to close, you could prevent progression by almost 90 %. It was 87 % in that study. So remdesivir actually can be a very effective antiviral if you give it at the right time in the right patient, if we can extend this down to children and actually give it to them during the critical time when it can make the biggest difference, finally, we're really opening up more options, because these kids don't have a lot of options.
