Stupid meet stupid

The Herald reports:

US President Donald Trump has been mocked on social media for referring to the coronavirus as a “germ that has gotten so brilliant” it’s even outsmarting antibiotics.

As most of us know, antibiotics are useless against any virus, let alone one as deadly and complex as the coronavirus, which has so far killed more than 18,700 Americans and infected at least half a million others.

But that didn’t stop Trump from raving about the coronavirus’ resistance to drugs used to treat bacterial, not viral, infections.

I recommend people actually watch the video to see for themselves how bad it is.

How old were you when you learnt that antibiotics only work on bacterial infections, not viral inflections? I think I was nine or ten.

Its possible Trump didn’t realise Covid-19 is a virus despite it being commonly called coronavirus which is a bit of a takeaway!
