Before antibiotics, 90% of deaths were from infectious diseases. Now it is around 10%.

I am sure I read that somewhere but can’t guarantee it’s accuracy. Anyway, antibiotics have clearly had a tremendous impact.

I’ve heard from a dentist that ozonated water does well in place of anti-biotics.

There were a few successful methods of defeating bacteria, pre-antibiotic. They lost out due to cost and inconvenience. Might want to read up. Using silver or even copper for door handles, surfaces of tables, etc. was one, “environmental silver.” You see it today in clothing that is antimicrobial, it has literal silver thread woven into the fabric.

We are Back to the Future, the Future Dark Age of constant warfare, antibiotic resistant diseases, and food shortages due to shorter growing seasons due to the new maunder minimum on its way.

Antibiotic resistant TB is the new plague.

The question is at what cost - did we just kick the can down the road (like the economy/illegals, etc.) so when SHTF it is a huge and sudden deal vs. the slower path that may have helped us better adapt our natural defenses>

Most of us will be dad and buried before the worst scenario happens - hopefully they will come up with viable replacements.
