(115,693 posts)5. His Lardship evidently believes the virus is just a kind of germ
that's antibiotic-resistant, notwithstanding all the new coverage and, no doubt, repeated explanations from Dr. Fauci and other experts about what a virus is and how it functions - and that antibiotics have never had any effect on any virus because viruses aren't alive and can't be killed in the usual sense. They can be rendered unable to invade cells (ordinary soap destroys the coating of CVs and causes them basically to disintegrate), or vaccinations can make cells resistant to their invasion. You can't kill something that's not alive, but that might be too complicated a concept for the Very Stable Genius.
