I think the original poster wanted to know why antibiotics would be used on people with the flu. One poster mentioned pneumonia and I mentioned the article I read about secondary staph infections during the 1918 epidemic. I contracted a staph infection in a hospital in my teens and I know how hard it can be to fight. I hope I didn’t come across as trying to imply that treating something is as easy as giving someone a shot.
Thanks, I just don’t want people to think that antibiotics
will be the cure-all for this (or any) flu.
