Sorry for the new topic

I just need to vent.

DISCLAIMER
The below statements are my own personal views and I don't mean to degrade anyone who thinks otherwise. I just see the public being lured down a dark alley by various governments who are "in bed with" pharmaceutical/anti-bacterial companies and not really looking out for the publics best interest.

With that said, my question is - has the whole world gone stupid? Seriously.

Why does everyone fail to understand that bacteria and virus are 2 different entities? That you can NOT kill a virus and that anti-bacterial doesn't prevent the flu?

Over and over the people who know tell the public (if they would just listen) that the best thing you can do is wash your hands with soap and water - for 15 - 20 seconds, several times throughout the day. The virus needs a host cell within your body to live and reproduce. You smearing your hands with anti-bacterial gel is only spreading the virus around a larger surface, allowing it more opportunities to invade your body and find that host cell. Washing your hands with soap and warm water frequently wash viruses (& bacteria) off preventing either from entering your body.

Colds are caused by 1 of many different viruses. Flu's are caused by a virus. A viral infection has to run it's course. Rest, fluids, pain reliever - the normal course of treatment is about all anyone can do for any viral infection. And once you exhibit symptoms, it's too late. You were exposed as early as a few hours earlier and up to a week or so prior and during that time, you were contagious and unknowingly infected countless others.


"The best way to avoid a cold is to wash hands thoroughly and regularly; and to avoid touching the eyes, nose, mouth, and face. Anti-bacterial soaps have no extraordinary effect on the cold virus; it is the mechanical action of hand washing with the soap that removes the virus particles"


The media doesn't help by spreading their lies. The anti-bacterial companies don't help in erroneously promoting their products. Yes - there are bacteria out there. Yes some of it is bad. But how many years have we lived with bacteria and without all this paranoia? TPTB have stated that major difference between the H1N1 flu and the "normal" flu is that the H1N1 is more contagious. Therefore, more people could potentially get the H1N1 flu. People who have died from H1N1 could have died from the normal flu just as easily. It was just their turn to go. And I bet - if we could ask them - at least some of them had tried the anti-bacterial gel to prevent it. It just doesn't work. I wish the human race would get their intelligence back and stop listening to erroneous propaganda.

Go outside. Get some fresh air. Build up natural immunities to germs and bacteria. Strengthen your body. That's the best way to stay healthy.

Sorry guys. I get frustrated because apparently I work with a bunch of educated idiots.
