RE: Understanding Infections / Bacteria and Viruses

Yes, I totally agree. The big problem here is that when we talk about viruses we are referring to DNA or RNA fragments, so the more specific diagnostic methods, such as PCR for example, are usually more expensive, and the process to perform them is slower.
But the problem of self-medication continues to be a public health problem, because if we continue at this rate, bacteria will soon be immune to all antibiotics. We would be totally disarmed, something like what we experienced before the discovery of the penicillin.
