Is it true that we still can't cure the common cold nor the flu virus, nor even most viruses?

I’m aware we can somewhat slow down the HIV virus, and we can target specific viruses which don’t hide behind our nervous system on nerve endings like the herpes virus (apparently still incurable) but for the most part we must suffer through till the virus runs its course.
Is this still where modern medicine and science are?

Also, please feel free to provide us with any remedies you may have to help relieve the awful feelings of these colds and flus.
