This is a virus. Antibiotics are for bacterial diseases

Although apparently some deaths are the result of opportunistic bacterial secondary infections.

I understand that. But I'm not talking about Coronavirus in particular but the threat of a pandemic in the age of antibiotics.

This one might be a virus but past pandemics like the Black Plague were bacterial in nature.
