Would you rather get sick of a virus or a bacteria?

If you are to select between the two, which one would you prefer to be sick of. Of course, you don't want either of them, but if you are forced to choose would you stay in a room where people have viral disease? or prefer to stay in a room with people who have bacterial disease, and why?

hahaha! I prefer bacteria because it is easily cured by low dose antibiotics (am I right?). however one needs a strong antibiotic to knock down a virus.

Yeah I agree with you. Viruses are a lot harder to get rid of. I really prefer either though. No one likes to be sick. It would be nice if we could be healthy all the time.

I think virus is worst than bacteria. The treatment of bacteria is a bit simpler than that of the virus. Regarding infectious nature, both the things virus and bacteria are infectious. I will try to keep the body away from both of them.

Some bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics - I'd rather not have them under any circumstances. If I had to have tardily diagnosed meningitis, I'd rather have the viral variety, as it's rarely fatal, whereas bacterial, if you don't treat it in time, is almost inevitably fatal. There are antivirals around now, but they're expensive and they only make the disease less severe - which is better than nothing.

I think that they are both bad. But it depends on what each one is and what the side affects are. A lot of viruses however are harder to cure and many don't have a cure. So I think a bacteria.
