Here in Indonesia, antibiotics can be bought over the counter without a prescription. Many people self medicate for a cough or runny nose (they don't distinguish whether viral or bacterial, most likely the average worker doesn't know the difference).
Few have the luxury to take a sick day so the pressure is on.
This should be an election issue, that Indonesia should not be selling antibiotics without a prescription. Stupid people take them just a little then stop, and as a result are continually training tuberclosis and other bacteria to become antibiotic resistant.
Then when they can't treat things anymore, surprised Indonesian faces all around. What if the West doesn't have anything new for them? Time to die.
Before antibiotics, was not a fun time and we're heading back there soon.
