For example, the flu, can be prevented by getting the flu shot, but when you get the flu, there is nothing that you can take to cure it. (Theraflu doesnt work) The reason is that viruses. The reason is that viruses are not cellular, therefore, disrupting their cellular activity wont work, where as the common cold (rhinovirus type 39) is a bacteria, which has a cellular structure and can be cured with antibiotics and medicine. With a virus, the symptoms can only be treated and you have to let your antibodies fight it off.
