one in common. The reason why antibiotics can't kill viruses is
simply because they can't recognize viruses. Antibiotics are
specially designed only able to detect certain bacteria strains,
not viruses. Even if they are, viruses have the ability to mutate
to escape detection.
Viruses exist for one purpose only: to reproduce. To do that, they
have to take over the reproductive machinery of suitable host

good point.
base on that you mean even when we sick with flu Antibiotics will
not work, so why Doctor still want us to take ??? t recognize
viruses.
