Two questions:
If one is re-infected (as a primary caregiver in a hospital, for example) how often must one's blood get re-filtered? How infectious is someone after their blood is filtered?
Oh, what is the cost per filter, and how are the filters disposed of?
Nonetheless, looks like good news.
Cheers!
This is interesting, but it won't "cure" you as viruses reproduce within cells. Even if you filter 100% of the viruses from circulating blood, that still leaves a large population of virons within your cells which will reproduce.
It might not be enough to prevent scarring, but it may lower the virus load enough to get someone over the hump so that they can survive. Pretty nifty. :)
One more question: how quickly can you filter somebody's blood so that the virus is really and truly gone? If you can get one person per (say) 6 hours, from a purely logistical standpoint this thing is useless in a bio-attack unless you've got tens of thousands of them lying around.
