Viruses aren’t simply tiny villains. They help regulate bacterial populations, recycle nutrients, and drive evolution by moving genes around.

Some ancient viral DNA even became useful to us. A famous example is syncytin, derived from an ancient retrovirus and now important in forming the placenta.

We also use viruses medically, including in gene therapy, cancer treatments, and bacteriophage therapy against some bacterial infections.

So yes, a virus can make you bloody sick. But in nature, viruses are also part of the machinery that keeps life changing and adapting.

How very remarkable that COVID-19 [sic: formatting] is why
'we are experiencing high demand',
while also
justifying no health restrictions anywhere because
'the pandemic is over' [sic].

So remarkable, in fact, that _upon it, I'm right now remarking!_

Fun fact people - if you are showing symptoms of an illness, you are infectious. Wear a good mask and stop the spread.

No - antibiotics do not stop you from spreading an illness instantly. They take time to work. You need to have finished the course, and not show any symptoms to be safe to be around.

And, you not showing symptoms is not 100% surefire way to say you aren't a carrier. Covid for example can be asymptomatic and still spread from you to others.

Wear a mask.

When I was living in Sri Lanka during Covid, I remember people didn't want to eat fish, because Indians often put dead bodies into rivers, which end up in the Bay of Bengal near Sri Lanka and into the bellies of fish.

In the West, cyclospora infections are called an 'outbreak', but, in India, where people traditionally use farmland as a public toilet, they're very common. They develop resistance to it and avoid it by cooking most food, but it often causes 'traveller's diarrhoea' in tourists.

A retrospective analysis of almost 600 hip and knee replacement patients who followed a post-op 7-day course of oral antibiotics found that the rate of joint infections did not differ at 90 days or 1 year from the rate for propensity score matched patients who did not receive antibiotics.
