It appears that *some* antibiotics work via other mechanisms for viruses.
I’m going to have to track down the vanc class stuff wrt ebola/etc.
My GP always prescribed antibiotics if I got a really bad cold. He said it was to prevent any bacterial pneumonia that might be starting, but I wonder if he knew they had some effect on viruses. The cold always went away at once.
Now I use more preventive measures and don’t get colds that much anymore.
