By 1961: A Cure for Colds.

The article reports that medical researchers believe a cure for colds can be developed by 1961. It states that the focus has shifted from prevention to an actual cure, since the former cannot be done. It reportedly took this long to create a new paradigm because of the many discoveries made along the way, the lack of priority and funding given to colds, and the difficulty of experimenting with the virus since only humans and apes can get infected. It has also been discovered that colds have no single cause, but result from a host of different viruses.
