How can gene editing like CRISPR play a role in gene editing and the prevention of diseases caused by viruses?

 I am very curious about the impacts that gene editing can have on the future of viruses. I think that the subject has some serious promises when it comes to revolutionizing the epidemiology field. I want to be someone who is known for pushing the boundaries and causing positive change in the science world. I think that this question is very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed researching this topic. If you are interested in the answer to this complex question watch the video!
