Or, because we are using antibacterial soaps on a much larger scale, the more resistant forms of the virus (that can survive the antibacterial soaps and thus all future generations are resistant as well) are the only ones being widely spread now.

Perhaps, but did you ever hang out in a bathroom & notice how many idgits don't wursh der digits?

That anti-bacti slime never sees many paws, paws that smear the same handles, knobs, etc. that our higher order mitts share.

Also, take a good fresh garlic capsule every day or 12 hours, no better anti has or will ever be invented.

Do your own research, you'll be amazed!

I'm no doctor, but I don't believe antibiotics are useful against viruses anyway. They aren't "bacteria," they are just little chunks of RNA. I think there is even a debate as to whether they are "alive" in the usual sense of that word.

my first thought was antibacterial soaps - another is the latex gloves so many areas use now - deli, dr. office, markets. Just watch the user sometime and what they do with their hands then go on to handle your food.
