@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya Not all antibiotics work
Few work

Generally bacteria have a cell wall
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm which has proteins which are synthesised by 70 S Ribosomes
Nucleus

Human cell has
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm which has proteins synthesised by 80S Ribosomes
Nucleus
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya Virus has cell membrane
Few proteins
Nucleic acids

Antibiotics can work by inhibiting any of these

For example

Penicillin inhibits cell wall
Human cells does not have it
Virus does not have it

So
Penicillin has no action on virus
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya Penicillin is one of the earliest antibiotics

So
The dictum that antibiotics don't act on bacteria came

But
Later we expanded and started targeting protein synthesis of bacteria which used 70S ribosomes

Since human cells used 80S ribosomes this was possible
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya Azithromycin is one of such drugs invented in late 80s

Though it is an antibiotic
It also.prevents synthesis of CoronaVirus proteins (by 70S ribosomes)

And
In the past two decades
Azithromycin is a common antibiotic in TN

If you go to any medical shop
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya And ask drugs for running nose, cold, fever

They will give this

-

Now
This has come as blessing in disguise

Those affected with corona will have running nose (nasal infection stage) and then pharyngitis (sore throat stage)

They would have gone to any doctor or to PHC
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya Or directly to a medical shop
And got this tablet

The virus would have got a hit

And
The sore throat would not have progressed to Pneumonia

Where as in Italy
You cannot see a doctor
Or
Get a drug easily

So
The virus would have caused Pneumonia
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya I did not believe that we were in second stage

I strongly believed we were in fourth stage by now

But
Since pneumonia was not common
Many were thinking that we did not reach stage II

My hypothesis was that
We reached stage 4
But
Pneumonia less due to various factors
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya That is

My point is

While
A large portion of those who got the virus developed Pneumonia in Italy

Very few who got the virus developed Pneumonia in TN

Why
Because

Few factors prevented the disease from progression

One
I thought was wide spread used of azithro
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya So
I said this


Other factors
Which save TN are

1
Effective Public Health Department
2
Effective primary care in both GH and Private - you see a doctor and get tablet on same day
3
Vaccines given to kids which save old men by cross immunity
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya 4
Sea Spray

Most, If not all, were saying that our numbers are low because we don't test

I don't agree

Testing is not of use to find numbers

The real challenge is not allowing the virus to cause pneumonia

We have been successful in that aspect due to multiple factors
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya Now coming to your point

//Usually sore throats after the swab test, only if found due to a bacterial infection they give antibiotics.//

That is an approach to be followed when the aim is to save money 😁

Sadly
Protocols in UK, Canada are made such that
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya Patient believes he gets the best , believes he controls his health, but at the same time
NHS spends the least

Same way
In USA
Protocols are made such that
Insurance companies spend the least

In all these countries
The public is fooled to choose a less costly option
@NChozhan @Rasanai @AskAadithya The normal delivery, home delivery , against surgery propaganda are all not accidental

They are intentionally done
To reduce spending on Healthcare

But
At the same time

The gullible common man thinks thay he has overpowered the doctor and hence is happy
