“antibiotics are not working” against a virus. Shocking.

Antibiotics do nothing against viruses. The most they can do is take out bacterial infections that develop as a result of the immune system being busy fighting off the virus.

Put another way, this is like complaining that the waterproofing treatment you put on your jacket is doing nothing against the fire that is burning the jacket.

Why should antibiotics work on a respiratory VIRUS? This is crap.reporting antibiotics have never ever “worked” on viruses they might work on an associated bacterial infection while the person’s immune system was compromised but viruses do not respond to antibacterial medications. There are antiviral medications but most are ineffective against general or novel viruses they are targeted ar a specific viral receptor and as such unique to what they target.
