If there ever come a time when we win, it certainly isn't now. At least not at the pace of modern scientific discovery. Besides their alarming number, viruses are rapidly developing immunity against standard and well-known infections. It took the WHO more than 2-years to mitigate (Not cure) the EBOLA virus after countless deaths. Like the little child trying hard to empty the ocean with his tea cup. I think trying to create a virus-free infections using antibiotics at our current pace is no different from the lad's attempt. As I said earlier, there are countless species developing immunity to withstand the body's immune system, and external factors like drugs. So the real experiment question is, how do we prevent virus replication.
