people do not take their antibiotics as prescribed...
people do not finish their regime of antibiotics when they start feeling "better"..
people take other peoples antibiotics instead of seeing the doc...
and people just think that going to the doc for "flu" or "virus" or sinus infections require antibiotics....
and so many "just in case" prescriptions for antibiotics for people that do not need them...
and we wonder why germs become resistant...
“there has been NO disincentive for NOT prescribing antibiotics for flu and virus....”
All true, but all irrelevant as to why there are no new ones.
